sick girl

i woke up last night and knew i was in trouble. on the right side in the way back of my throat was a dry spot. the kind of miserable dry spot that just won't go away no matter how many slugs of water and OJ you take. and then you know you're screwed. but you hope you're not.

so i am screwed. i woke up with the right side of my nose jam packed with god knows what color goo and the now ever present scratchy throat. what is it with the scratchy throat? why is it scratchy? yes, post-nasal drip, i know but i want to know exactly what is going on physically to cause that annoyance. what exactly makes the cells in your throat get hit first and take away the taste of anything and everything. and why can't you wet it down for just a little RELIEF? i absolutely hate being sick and this has been my sickest year - thank you lovey baby. this one though, is courtesy of michael. he was sick as a dog this past week and i thought i dodged the bullet. no such luck.

we are actually pinning this one on my brother's girlfriend who showed up sick to bridget's first birthday. isn't it funny how you have to figure out who gave it to you? or am i the only one? i'm sure that this isn't from miss annie but i spent a large part of today being annoyed thinking about it. i think that i just need someone to focus my misery on. since michael definitely gave this to me, he is the easy target. however, he spent the day making me chicken soup and tea and doing all sorts of great things so i couldn't really be mad at him.

alright, that's it, i'm too weak to go on. ha. actually desperate housewives is on.
