Deja Vu
I am sick and this not something I'm good at and by that I mean I veer back and forth between grim denial and piteous whining. 
I've given up and started taking cold pills, which I don't like because of the side effects, but otherwise, ain't nobody in the house sleeping, especially me.
So today I woke up with my sinuses on fire, dry as a bone, fuzzy headed and heart pounding thanks to the decongestants, generally feeling like sweaty roadkill...and it seemed really familiar.
Oh, yes...hangovers.
I can't believe I ever chose this voluntarily over and over again.
Bundle up, use your hand sanitizer, and stay away from LaGuardia airport!

Now if I can just teach him to make tortilla soup...

Smooches, BB. Might as well...I can't taste a thing. On the plus side, between my soon-to-patented new abdominal workout of coughing uncontrollably every twenty minutes all day and all night for seven days plus the fact that everything tastes of nothing at all, I can pretty much rule out gaining weight this holiday season.
So there's that. And apparently I did NOT pass this on to my parents when I was there ten days ago, for which I am grateful, because it's mostly a nuisance for me but could have been serious for them. And so far, DH seems to have avoided it (ohpleaseohpleaseohplease let it stay that way.)
So I'm hanging around here all day being annoying.
Thanks for the grapefruit!

I think you are a kindred spirit.
It will pass... it's just a cold. In the meantime you made someone in west Texas guffaw. Take some vitamin C. Out here spicy tortilla soup does the trick, but if you're anywhere near LaGuardia, you probably have other options.
Thanks for the laugh, hope you feel better.

You're welcome, Bexxed. My grandmother was from West Texas...she retired and moved to Mexico. As a teen I was visiting once and was reading a book lying in front of the fire...I idly picked up the corner of the hearth rug, whereupon a seven-inch scorpion shot out, upon which event I managed somehow to levitate horizontally to stand on the nearest chair and scream for help.
Grandma walked in, took one look, whipped off her slipper, and efficiently pulverized it to twitching bits in less than three seconds. She then threw me a scornful look and left.
She was 80 years old at the time.
You do NOT mess with Texas.
