To write. To read. To watch TV. To do anything but die.
This cold has been savage. My throat feels like I’m swallowing double edged razor blades and I can’t stop coughing. My head aches and all I want to do is sleep. But even that isn’t easy to do because the coughing keeps me awake.
But still everyone wants everything from me. How is it that when a man gets sick his world stops and he has to wallow on a sofa under a blanket with the remote whining like a two year old with the wife at his beck and call yet when a woman gets sick she’s still expected to run the household and feed everyone and do laundry and clean? Not fair!
I have to do laundry today. Hauling a heavy basket to the laundramat in 11 degree weather sounds like the last thing I want to do, but I have no choice. I’ve been putting it off for too long, thinking I’d be better.
Oh, and it snowed yesterday. Lots of snow.
So, here I sit, wishing I could get my mind in gear because I have lots of writing to do, but dreading the things I must do. Well, at least I’m not at work today.

Snow here in the Scottish Highlands too. Hope you feel better soon!
Ceri,Coughing is awful. And it seems like it’s so hard to get rid of a nasty cold and cough. Hope you feel better soon. Amanda has a bad cold now and her poor little nose is so red.
Hope you feel better real soon, Ceri! Hang in there. 🙂
