Is Anybody Else Sick?

  It's that time of year when seasons change and people are sneezing and snotting it up. I'm sucking down hot tea right now because I suddenly feel like I did two months ago. I hated that feeling of heaviness on my chest and being winded easily. I really don't want to spend another 72 hours in bed with Mucinex-induced dreams about people chasing me and trying to stab me. (Mucinex DM is awesome, but it makes you feel wacky. Think, touch fuzzy get dizzy kind of wacky.) Can't a Roni breathe in peace?

  I've been cleaning like crazy lately, scraping off bird doodles and mouse droppings (like every other year, we get mice. They run through our walls and party in every room of the house.). Maybe that's what's got my chest all congested-like. Once again, not ready to be coughing and tasting blood/mucus. Surely not in the mood to be hocking loogies and...okay, nobody wants to hear that. Is this what I get for not taking my Flu shot? Shame on this Liberal hippie, I guess. I sound all wheezed up too. Is this like...a Winter thing, a bronchitis thing, or a mold thing? I thought it was a "You haven't worked out in two weeks, so you're gonna be winded" thing. That's when my breathing got all funny. I pushed myself extra hard today after missing out for so long. I felt awful because this workout thing is all about me and a desire to look...presentable for my state ID renewal. I looked so grouchy and sad in the last one.

 Anyway, who else out there isn't feeling their best right now? Maybe this is all in my head. If I start feeling like crapola, I guess I'll have to see a doctor. An expensive, costly doctor. *cough*wheeze* In the meantime, remedies galore! Next stop, smelling like somebody's grandma--Vick's Vapo-Rub edition.
