still cold

ahh. i do like a nyquil-assisted sleep. the dreams are amazing. the downside is, i wake up coughing. i don't know why that is, but the cough definitely waits in there for my consciousness to emerge. my symptoms and kara's seem to have reached a level. for the past 4 or 5 days i've had intermittent headache, coughing/sore throat, and rhinorrhea. sometimes i feel all right. sometimes i get all 3 symptoms at once. let it be known that the rhinorrhea, when it comes, is copious. it was 9 days ago that all this started for me, and maybe 7 days ago that it started for kara. as i say, no change in the past 4 or 5 days. it just keeps going on, as do i. i'm working from home today, and kara is home to take care of the dogs (though she has a bunch of schoolwork to do), and i'm glad about that.

it can't last much longer. it just can't. can it?
