No more monkeys jumping on the bed!

I went to the doctor today to probe the source of my continued sickness. Do i have an infection? Throat cancer? No normal human cold could possible cause suck unrelenting sleep-stopping pain.

"Nope, just a virus. I recommend lozenges," the doctor said, in the best paraphrase of "SUCK IT UP" they allow him in the medical profession.

"Though if it's really bad, i can prescribe you Tylanol with Codine," he offered.

"No thanks," i said, thinking of my already all-encompassing level of boredom. "That's not really something i'd like to have in the house."
