I've acquired a head cold. It introduced itself Wednesday night with a goochygoochygoo tickle in the back of the throat. At 3:15 AM on Thursday, I woke up to the feeling of a golf ball lodged in my throat.
It's now a few minutes more than 24 hours later, and I am again awakened mid-morning, due to the fact that the NyQuil® has worn off, my golf ball has been re-teed mid-larynx, and now my nasal cavity is filled with a mucuousy substance somewhat reminiscent of the cacooning residual effect when Mogwai ate food after midnight.
So, I sit slack-jawed and panting...waiting for the next dose of anti-sniffling, sneezing, coughing, aching, fever medicine to kick in. As soon as one nasal passage opens, I'm back to bed.
I'm supposed to officiate a marriage tomorrow, followed by baptisms and Sunday school leader training on Sunday. We'll see what happens.
