I’m still plagued by a pretty powerful cold, which is leaving me coughing and sneezing. This sort of ailment is a new one for me, as it wasn’t until adulthood before sneezing on a regular basis entered the equation. Before then I thought it was something only cats or fictional characters did, and suffered a perpetual runny nose.
Right now I’m all kitted out in the library, with a small package of tissues and hand sanitizer. I’m also driving my boyfriend up the wall- he sees me cough for thirty seconds or so and then orders ’spit!’, trying to get me to expell all the gluck that’s trying to fill my lungs. I wish library regulations allowed for a little cup o’ soup and a blanket, because then I’d be all set.
