Down with the Sickness

I knew it was going to happen at some point...but I hoped that it wouldn't. I have officially caught my first college cold. I don't actually have any idea what it is. Maybe it's allergies. Maybe it's a cold. Maybe it's ebola. I have no idea. Let's just say that I feel pretty crappy. I've tried lots of things to make it better. I've taken Zyrtec allergy medicine. I've had tea. I've had cough drops. I've had DayQuil and NyQuil. My roommate gave me Vicks sticky stuff to put under my nose and some weird throat soothing syrup stuff that tasted absolutely awful. I can kind of breathe out of my nose now so maybe we're making progress. The worst part about this whole thing is that I don't have my mommy here to rub my back. Yeah I'm an "adult" now but a mom is the best thing to have around when you're sick. When I'm sick again 10 years from now I guarantee that I'll want my mommy to take care of me. That's just how it goes. Well I'm going to go back to laying down with a pillow over my face because reading about WWI while I have a pounding headache just isn't going to happen.
