I really do have a good excuse for not posting to-do lists and 3-happy-thingses for the last three weeks. I have either been taking care of a sick husband or sick myself for those three weeks. Jason came home on Thursday the 19th, and didn't go back to work until Tuesday the 24th, by which point I was already sick. and I have been sick ever since. But no, not so sick that it keeps me in bed. That'd be too easy. I'm well enough to be able to do things. Housework, homework, that sort of thing. I've not even had to take a day off work, which is good because our finances need some uplifting.

No, I just have this annoying, hacking cough that sometimes seems productive but most of the time is just irritating. I had a stuffy nose for a couple days, but that seems to be gone now. I've tried every damn combination of cold medicines known to man, and while they help most things, this cough is un-helpable. I've drunk so much water I'm going to turn into a mermaid. Focusing on my homework is problematic, though I've managed to finish one paper, and the homework for my grammar class. Just another paper, that weird 'write a letter' one for Myth and Culture, and the homework for said class to go for this week. I've other writing assignments too, but they can wait a bit.

I just want to stop coughing. Really. It makes me ache, and irritable. I have to meet with my boss tomorrow, and I'd really like to be able to hold a conversation without hacking up a lung.
