i am really bad at being sick. i am heading into week two of my stupid cold and still no signs of sunnier lungs on the horizon. i never notice other people suffering through colds as long as i do. i am not sure if it is because of some defect in my constitution, or if i simply wear my misery on my sleeve moreso than the average afflicted. either option, when boiled down to a sticky resin, is an unpleasant reality. cough suppressants, decongestants, chicken soup, vitamin c, lozenges, tea, honey, hot hot showers, long naps, weird dreams. i am weary of my cold. and do not like the idea that i am a whiny cold sufferer, regardless of the mettle of my constitution.
