Those nasty viruses

[Chanel_no5]

So I thought I would dodge it this time; I mean, I was sick with the flu and ALL you can get from it throughout April, surely my immune system would be strong enough to fight off a little cold, right?

Wrong.

What started as a scratchy throat, which I thought was mainly imagination because I've been around sick people, has now turned into a lovely cough (I hate coughing, I hate it with a passion), my head is aching, and it feels as if every cavity behind my face is filled with liquid. I'm not stuffed up, and I don't sound sniffly or congested, but I feel like shit and I think I'm running a fever.

Just a little while ago, I had the first three sneezes of this cold. It started with a really tickly double (I hardly ever sneeze in doubles anymore), that I stifled, sounding something like

"Hah-gnXth! Hah-gnxgh!"

I thought I was done, but the tickle returned without any warning, and I barely had time to suck in air before I sneezed again, it was painful, messy and throaty, "Uh-ruESCHGGh-uhh!", followed by a very miserable whimper.

Yeah, it's definitely time to go searching for the packs of tissues that was left from my flu.

Hope you enjoyed, I certainly didn't.

Well, I have a sneezing fetish (after all, that's why I am here) but I hope you will get better soon. Being ill sucks.

Aww...bless you! Hope you feel better soon

Yeah, coughing sucks. At least there's an upside to it.

Thanks guys.

Yeah, being ill sucks, I thought I'd had enough for this year since I was sick all April, but oh well... could be worse. (to the Gods; that was not a challenge)

I've had at least twenty false starts since last night, but so far none have ended in an actual sneeze.
