What’s worse than being sick? Having to go to school still coughing, sneezing, wheezing, sniffling. When will it end?!
Like yesterday 10 minutes into the lecture, I had that dreaded feeling in my throat: that itchy, sandy feeling that precedes a never ending cough. I’m sure you’re familiar, right? It happened once before — I was stuck in a subway car already in transit when I got that itchy throat feeling. So, the cough ensued and would not stop. It was just so embarrassing! Mind you, this was during rush hour and it was quite a long ride, relative to other stations. I was actually starting to tear up because it was THAT bad. I tried to stop it by drinking tea, but that went downhill after I started choking on the tea with people looking at me. Ughhh.
Long story short, it was embarrassing and I wasn’t going to let it happen during lecture where people actually know me so I took off. Was that story even interesting? I seem to have the best luck with coughing and drinks. Like that one time I took a huge sip of coffee only to spray it all out at my screen because of a cough. Or earlier today when I kind of choked on my orange because I almost inhaled a chunk when I coughed suddenly.
Anyway, please please please excuse my absence. I’m not doing it on purpose, promise! Meanwhile, feast your eyes on Buckley’s. It’s the best tasting cough medicine out there.
Actually, no. I lied. It’s the ABSOLUTE worst. So bad I’d have to start sounding like I’m dying before I consider taking the stuff.
Hope everyone else is great!
