Ugh. I have a cold. It has hit me fast and hard. I’m taking my regular daytime multi-symptom cold medicine, but I can’t tell if it’s working. The coughs are the worst. Cough! Cough! Cough! Almost gag. Cough!
My organ lesson is today. I can’t decide if I should cancel or not. Would cancelling make my teacher think that I’m not committed? Or would it make him think I’m smart enough not to spread disease all over his organ keyboards as I cough and play? I think I’ll cancel.
Booooooooooo. 🙁
Don’t go to your lesson. Get a box of donuts and use them as both dinner and pillow.
Brilliant suggestion, as usual…
I recommend you drink plenty of liquids and get some rest. Or maybe drink some liquids and get plenty of rest. I forget.
I hope you feel better soon!
And this got me to thinking about who determined or how was it determined which article we are to use when referring to an illness.
Why do we say we have a cold, but say we have the flu? Pneumonia gets no article. We have pneumonia. So is it the severity of the illness that determines the article? Nah, because we have the chicken pox …. we have shingles.
Regardless, I hope you don’t get the diarrhea with your cold!
Heh. During the Swine Flu panic, whenever a student was absent, I would ask their classmates if they were out because they had “The Swine”. I had limited success in making it catch on.
I concur.
