Sniff, cough, hack, riiiiip!

Ugh. Seems I either picked up a bug while back east or my body is repaying me for all the damage I inflicted on it while stressing out before my trip, stressing out while stuck in various airports and the marathon walking I did in Manhattan. I woke up Sunday with a slight tickle in my throat that developed into scratchy fairly quickly. Now I'm stuffed up, sneezing, coughing and generally hacking up nasty stuff. How does the body keep generating this vile goo? I avoided getting sick for the entire winter, now I get to deal with it during a heat wave. I want my bed, an endless supply of orange juice, something to tickle the back of my throat with and Kleenex. Instead, I'll work a full day and then go for my 2nd Brazilian wax. Yes, I am a masochist.
