Anybody else got Captain Trips?
I'm gathering that this cold/virus thing I've got is unusually severe, and that it's not just me. Anyone else got it? Is there hope?
I get colds once or twice a year, and they always follow the same arc of sore throat, chest tickle, snot-fest, cough-fest, and done. This one is different. It incubated longer, it's hitting in a different sequence (not throat-first), and its symptoms are practically operatic in their enormity and intensity.
It is, in short, a very uncomfortable experience. I've never in my life sneezed like I've been sneezing the last day or so, and I've never had a cold keep me awake two nights running, forcing me to resort to drugs in order to sleep a few hours. I won't even get started on the weird cycles of feeling cold and feeling hot, all without benefit of the slightest fever that I can detect.
What is this? Some virus liberated from the melting Antarctic ice? I'm ready for it to be done.

I was going to suggest that you make a big pot of onion and garlic soup and drink it all, but in fairness, you might be better off breaking out the whisky. If you're going to feel like crap tomorrow anyway...
Hope you feel better soon. ♥

The whisky is a fairly good cough suppressant, too. :D
