Getting my ass kicked

This cold is seriously kicking my ass. It has now been over a week since I first had symptoms and 5 days since it had me in bed during daytime hours. I made it through an entire day of work yesterday but last night was brutal. I thought poor Lincoln was going to have to sleep on the couch while I stayed up all night coughing. Luckily Lincoln managed to find some unexpired liquid cough suppressant in our house. We don't use it often so it tends to go bad before we buy new stuff. Personally I was about ready to pour vegetable oil down my throat to coat it. Thank God he's the sane one.
