I get it every year, it seems. I’ve decided that I’m going to have to suck it up and just fork out the $15 or so to get a yearly vaccination. Being sick like this for more than a week is absolutely hellish. No sleeping, breathing, talking, or laughing. Not only are there severe mucus issues, but I’ve got this horrendous cough that sounds (and feels) like I’ll wind up holding my spleen when I’m done. I’m not even going to mention how yucky the fever makes me feel.

And as is forever true, when the woman of the house is miserable, everyone suffers…poor Peter has gotten as little sleep as I have, and the pigs are scared to death of the Big Scary Hacking Snot Monster. Just shoot me!!
