Cruddy Crud Crud

Winter here in Tennessee is always interesting. Last week, we were in the 70s, sunny skies -- practically summer! Starting yesterday, however, it's been cold and rainy, gloomy in general. Since Mother Nature has decided to play peek-a-boo, I'm now suffering from what my mother used to affectionately refer to as "The Crud."

I woke up yesterday with "The Crud" in my chest so I had a rattling, hacking cough, and couldn't talk for a couple of hours. I began drinking orange juice in the hopes I'd feel better. And I did...until it came time to go to sleep (after I watched the second half of the Colts/Patriots playoff game. Talk about a nail-biter! Go Colts!!).

This morning, I didn't feel much better but I drove myself to work anyway. I'm not sure I'll make it through the day. I'm coughing and blowing my nose to no avail, plus the weather is perfect for OD-ing on Nyquil. Then again, Prison Break and Heroes return to television tonight. I'd love to watch but I'm not sure I'll survive until then.
