so i guess this is my first cold for the season. judging by my past health records, i will no doubt suffer at the hands of the mighty flu god once more through-out this winter. it started off as the sore throat from hell on friday, and i took the day off work to try and nip it in the butt. i overdosed on cold and flu tablets and fruit and vitamins and rest. however my good intentions were all for nothing, when i had a few too many drinks at a family gathering up in cold cold cold kingaroy on saturday night. i woke up with a full blown cold. i rested up all i could on sunday and even took yesterday and today off work to try and get better. i'm finally started to feel ok, probably just the numbing effect from too many decongestants and panadols. but i woke up with king sized puffy eyes from crying all yesterday and last night. no, not the 'heart ripped out and trodden on' type of crying. just the much more painful 'pressure in my sinus's, eyes watering continuously' type of crying.

watching tv is difficult through streaming tears, sitting at the computer is difficult through tears. but anyways, whining aside, the days off work and rest aplenty seems to be paying off, and today is a little less painful. i have still gone through half a box of tissues, with plenty of green nasty stuff left. BUT i have angel season 5 to keep me company and that makes me happy.

god, despite having limited taste at the moment, i feel like i could eat a house. damn sit at home bored eating.

and that's all i can bring myself to type at the moment. brains cells not functioning while swimming in mucus and phlegm.
