Clean Up on Aisle Seven

I thought I was coming down to the wire on this whole cold situation, until just a minute ago. You know that phrase "coughed up a lung"?
Yep.
On the plus side, I have a nifty new throw rug now. A little bubbly, but a conversation piece.
Going to go lie down and guzzle Nyquil a while.
I'd just like to add that I post this in no way pleading for sympathy, but as a warning that you might want to move back from the monitor a little, as I am probably as contagious as the bubonic plague and about as sticky. So don't cry for me, Argentina, as cherry Nyquil is quite tasty. Now, green Nyquil... that was severely icky. I call it the "gagging retching puking falling wake up on the kitchen floor and not know how you got there medicine."

Wait, wait... 'gagging retching puking, etc. etc. medicine'? I thought that was tequila shooters. Or flaming Dr. Peppers. (Either of which probably kill at least as many germs as any over-the-counter cold tonic.)

Are you sure about this?

Absolutely. Cherry Nyquil heals all.
Green Nyquil makes one psycho. And not in that happy Saturday night at Hooters complete with tabletop dancing way.

Yeah, that stuff should have a worm at the bottom of the bottle.
The gel caps work great, though. Take them and it's easier to make it into the bed before ya pass out.

I've had the Cherry Nyquil, but not the green - lucky me. I've been spared thanks to LeeAnn's selflessness in putting herself forward for that little experiment.

Don't slip on the new throw rug.

I didn't know you were Phlegmish, too! Wow! Even more in common.

Just remember, cough a lot and cough hard...it makes your boobs bigger. (And, you know how well that's worked for me!)

You have a throw run now.

And I now have a throw up rug after reading that.

I'm sorry LeeAnn--I think you must have caught it from me...I've been coughing up all sorts of interesting matter in a vast array of colors and textures for several days now...I named a few of the really gelatinous grayish-green ones...did I mention the delirium?

Have you ripped out the offending lung yet?
