place i hope you don't have the flu that's been levelling people around here. took me out for three days two weeks ago, and remains with me still. 080220

nocturnal sounds like what my mom had. she threw her back out coughing. don't feel bad, I laughed too. 080221

birdmad Shadow and Tonya kept to their side of the bed instead of curling up right next to me or on top of me, they were so leery of the amount of thrashing about i tend to do when i cough, to say nothing of my inherent germiness... 080221

margaux i started smoking again, partially as a weight loss idea, partially as a way to spend more time with e, partially because i kind of just missed it.

i mean i never definitely quit.

the coughing hasn't yet started, but i am waiting for the day.

unhinged and another cold
this time a bad hacking wheezing painful cough
that's hacking up chunks
eeewww
and i'm losing my voice
which is actually kind of entertaining


ironically enough
i caught this cold from a friend over the weekend
and she caught it from
the damn spoiled brat kids she nannies
it's fucking viral
her roommate caught it from her
and then i'm pretty sure
so did everyone at their party

unhinged hey_bird

how long did you have your cough for? was it something bad like bronchitis or pneumonia?



is debating going to the doctor/free clinic

bird turns out it was just a really spectacularly nasty chest cold.

took me a week to stop coughing and then took me another week to stop wheezing and rattling with every other breath.

well enough now and good to go until my immune system crashes into something new or forgets this particular bug

meanwhile, i hope you feel better soon, nic.

unhinged already feeling somewhat better



cancelled all my church gigs this weekend so i can lay around and get this cough gone; stupid chest cold. i hate when i cough up chunks.

bird chunks are, indeed, the worst.

at the worst part of it, i coughed so hard it hurt my shoulders and elbows even more than my chest, like if i had somehow compressed those joints or had spawned multiple "funny bone" pressure points and all of them got hit at once...it was so weird.

good plan taking off from any planned activity...a good rest might just do the trick

unhinged standing over the white porcelain sink
clutching the edges
green infectious chunks
sliding down the drain



sounds like i infected my roommate
minutes crawl like hours
also i think
because i've purified myself of
coffee, cigarettes, weed

i'm going to try to sleep
in a more upright position tonight
so no more of the snot
slids back into my ears
somehow i liked it better
when it was all down in my chest
and the cough hurt more

(not being able to hear drives me absolutely bat shit insane)
