Home Sick

And I don’t mean away from home and longing to be there.  I mean, I’m sick at home with a killer cold that feels like I’m going to blow the top of my head off everytime I cough.  My eyes feel like they are going to pop out of their sockets and I have dolby surround sound bouncing from one eardrum to the other everytime I breathe.  It’s funny how your body starts making all kinds of weird noises when you have a cold, from the nose whistling to the crunchy sound in your chest as you exhale.  Oh, and how about every muscle aching so much that even combing my hair hurts.  I’m looking out my window to a gorgeous sunshine filled day (yes, it really does happen in Portland!) and would love to be out there soaking up some vitamin D, but alas, I confined here inside waiting for the next marathon cough session that we leave me light headed and cussing the person that decided to breathe in my direction with this awful stuff.  Curses upon you!
