I'm sick, but now I have an excuse to be lazy!

Hopefully, my cold is going away. I've been sneezing and unable to breathe through the nose for the past week, and therefore I've been unable to sleep because the insides of my nose are in pain from the dryness (I think) due to mucus not being able to flow freely to adequately lubricate.

Kim, who's in school to become a nurse, has had me carefully monitor the color of my snot. Green or yellow would indicate a sinus infection. Luckily, all is clear (pun intended).

Aside from the Sudafed, I've been keeping myself medicated with Season One of House. I might have a scratchy throat or a runny nose or a sinus headache, but at least I'm not one of House's patients, with their seizures, or their puking blood, or the skin-eating diseases, or the exploding testicle.

I'm uncomfortable, but at least my cure is some hot tea and bed rest rather than House's team of doctors brainstorming for a solution before I kick the bucket. While I'm stuck indoors, I'm especially relieved to have my House dvd's.
