Heal Thyself

At the most recent of an innumerable, interminable, and totally unnecessary string of committee meetings one of the attendees hacked, coughed, sneezed, and sniffled throughout our little get-together. I guess she thought she was so indispensable that we couldn't manage without her. Of course, like most of these damned meetings, we didn't accomplish much with or without her. But that's another story.

Two days later my throat was raw and my sinuses were both congested and dripping (how can they be both at the same time?). Why the hell didn't she just stay home?

Anyway, today I'm subsiding on cough drops, decongestant tablets, and Shiner. Who needs health care reform when one can self-medicate?
