Well, it was inevitable, I got the New Year's Crud!

I'm slogged down, clogged up, and blogged sideways.

I don't even remember what day it is. My head feels like it's stuffed with cotton. Oh, wait a minute, I remember now, I put some cotton balls in my ears cause they were hurting, No Wonder!

I am sneezing and sniffling. Don't really know if it is a cold or a sinus infection, but I am running a low grade fever with chills and sick to my stomach from drainage.

I hate this stuff. I got a flu shot, but that doesn't seem to help. I usually come down with this the same time every year. Several people at work have been sickly and I can only assume I got it from one of them.

I have on my jammies with a box of tissues under my arm. I am slathered with Vicks, sucking on a Hall's (sugar-free) cough lozenge, cotton sticking out of my ears and toting a small garbage pail with me in case I barf. Is that a colorful enough description for you to get the idea of what kind of agony I am in?

Eddie's doctor called this morning and my voice is so deep from laryngitis that he thought I was Eddie. Excuse me, but I am not male, even though my voice currently is as deep as a man's.

I am hoping this goes away pretty darn quick.
