Anyone know anyone who's severely sick right now? I am officially gone right now, and I'm far from the first case in my area. A fried of mine had to go to the emergency room with respiratory problems and I'm pretty sure I have what she has. OH my god, this is terrible. I feel like someone is drilling into my skull and every cough is glass with the possibility of throwing up. You can't blow your nose without bringing on a coughing fit, either.

Any tips on getting better?

Captain's Log, Day Two: I can breathe without assistance and can whisper "Sup" and "wa'er." There is finally use for my cheesy sign language. I've been told it's a good thing that Nyquil no longer puts me to sleep. Also, I can finally blow my nose without going to a coughing fit.

I finally realize what my own personal hell might be when I die.

Note to self: Buy humidifier.
