I’m now on Day 6 of The Stupidest Cold in the Universe. Each new day brings with it another exciting new symptom.
Day 1 - Scratchy, phlegmy throat
Day 2 - Stinging, burny throat, swollen glands, massive headache
Day 3 - Irritated throat, watery eyes, excessive sneezing
Day 4 - Blurred vision, insomnia, slight sniffles
Day 5 - Really blurred vision, completely insane dry cough that made my brain feel like it was getting totally bitch-slapped by my skull
Day 6 - My head and chest are a safe haven for extremist goo. Number of tissues used: approximately 900. Today, I’m a total “mouth breather.” Sigh.
Total cold medicines purchased: 5! (Theraflu Day, Theraflu Night, Sudafed (WORTHLESS unless I decide to develop an awesome Meth habit), Delsym Cough and Tylenol Allergy Multi-Symtom.

Nice cabbage soup. Some fresh thyme would be good in it too.

OH yes! I actually added some fresh lemon thyme from my herb garden. I totally forgot.

Holy crap, that looks awful. If you’re so sick that this dish looks appealing, go get yourself a bacon cheeseburger with a hot toddy chaser.
