gunk

some nasty little cold has been going around our house...it started last week sometime, culminating on friday with elise being diagnosed with an ear infection in both ears and pinkeye to boot. ian, too, has had the cold and ended up with pinkeye. (after the way he slept last night, i'm wondering if he's developed an ear infection!) i've had the ol' cold myself. it began with a sore throat caused by drainage. it wasn't just a little irritated, it was completely "i-can-barely-swallow-without-some-ibuprophen-in-me" sore. that seems to have eased up as the snot begins to pour from my nose....it just keeps coming, and coming, and coming (from where i cannot imagine...) don't worry, the fun continues! i have also developed a cough that is borderline tight/loose. so i have that urge like it will be really productive, and yet i end with a few measley coughs. the urge continues, however, until i feel like i'm going to hurl up my liver if i cough again. and this morning, i woke up with drool all over my cheek from my deep, sick sleep (it was soooooo gross--i could've beat out a st. bernard with what i found this morning) and my eyelids all crusty & gunked all over. so now i have pinkeye! as bad as it is, i just keep reminding myself....at least it's not the stomach bug!
