My Phlegmy Valentine
Most people get flowers for Valentine's Day. I got one hell of a cold.
My fellow came to visit for an early V-Day weekend this past Saturday through Monday since he'll be working this weekend. I even took a day off, wanting to have a nice relaxing romantic couple of days. All was well until he woke up with a cough on Monday and immediately went downhill from there. At first I thought it was a run-of-the-mill cold and he was just being a big baby (having heard men can be a bit whiny when sick), but I realized fairly quickly this was a bad one. I won't go in to all the details, but I think I passed some sort of girlfriend test by sticking around after seeing the worst of it.
I've now been given the gift of disease, though I have to admit it isn't nearly as bad as his. I've had a fever, buttery lungs, a cough, and stuffy nose, and had to go home from work early yesterday, but it still doesn't even touch what my poor boy went through.
