I don't get sick often. Usually, I get one or two colds a year and they aren't typically too bad.
Well, to call what I have now a sickness does not fully express how terrible it is. I prefer to call it an affliction.
I have a painful hacking cough that would make Raistlin Majere cringe. I spend a good part of my day switching between freezing to death and sweating like a fat dude on a treadmill. Perhaps my favorite symptom, however, is the amount of time I spend sitting still for minutes at a time gasping for breath like a fish out of water.
To top it all off, my adorable little daughter seems to be particularly interesting in cuddling with daddy. Its hard to explain to a 9 month-old why we need to keep 2 feet from each other at all times because daddy carries a vile pestillence that he wouldn't pass on to his worst enemy.
Stupid lungs....
