I hate colds. /end journal (Just kidding)

But seriously, I think I hate colds worse than any stomach sickness, allergies, or injury I've had. Stomach sickness? Just throw-up and it's over with. Allergies? Sure, I want to tear my eyes out, but they go away after a while. Injury? Only hurts for a while, and will heal eventually. A cold? Your throat is sore, almost from the beginning; nose is congested almost as soon; can't breathe when you're eating or sleeping; breathe through your mouth to get to sleep, but your mouth dries out; can't stay in bed long enough to get to sleep anyway, because you're going to the bathroom every two minutes to blow your nose; even if you had tissues, your nose eventually becomes so sore you hate to even touch it; there are no cough drops, because everyone thinks they're perfect for getting rid of every little cough(or to soothe a sweet tooth).

Yeah, I hate colds...

I have a cold. Yesterday, while I was on the computer, I could hardly get anything done because I had to blow my nose almost constantly(We have no tissues; I've used the rest of the roll of tp in the bathroom, filling the bin half-way when it was once almost empty). When I went to bed, I couldn't sleep; I was cold, I put on a sweater. I was hot, I took off my cover. My nose ran until it's legs fell off; I coughed until my throat felt like it would break. It feels like this every time, but my wind-pipe and lungs hurt from all the coughing and blowing. Did I mention I didn't sleep? I may have gotten two hours of sleep; from 12 to 2. The rest of the night I had to keep getting up, or I was worried that my nose would run all over my pillow, so I just turned on the radio and waited, hoping I would fall asleep.

Anyway, mom's back from the store with some cough drops, so I'm going to go see if that'll help any. It's a little late now; I'm not coughing or running nearly as badly as I was before, but my throat is still sore, so I guess I'll give it a try.
