Sick

I was just saying I can't remember being "on the couch" sick for years. Well, this week it happened. Ugh. I think I have passed the worst of this one, and things should be getting better. Fingers crossed.

Fun fact: One reason we get dehydrated when we're sick is the gallons of mucus our sinuses are producing. I know I should be very gentle with the kleenex to avoid painful nose blowing down the road. But... there is something about getting every last bit of goo out of your head for one gleeful 20 seconds of free breathing. And it's not a gentle process.

Speaking of breathing... There is always a moment during a coughing fit, where you're pretty sure you're going to die by asphyxiation. I bet if you pass out, that tickle in your throat stops and you can breathe again. Just a theory.

The same Cadbury Cream Egg commercial has been airing for decades now, and I still laugh every time the lion makes that noise. Oh man.
