A sick winter Jenny is an ugly ugly site

I'm sick and I hate it. I don't even know where it came from! Wednesday night while walking to my car I noticed that my throat felt a little scratchy, 2 hours later I had tissued crammed up my nose and by the next morning I had 2 lbs of mucus sitting between my eyeballs like a brick! I'm bored out of my mind but have no energy to do anything. I'd sleep, but since I can't breathe out of my nose, I have to leave my mouth hanging open which not only results in a Druel Bath, but it somehow, at the same time, dries your mouth and lips out to a desert like state, which in turn leads to a sore throat, so I go through this cycle of sleep-druel all over-dry mouth-lips crack-wake up in puddle of druel with sore throat - roll over - which opens the floodgates in my nose releasing an hours worth of built up "fluid" - sit up and blow nose - drink water - realize I have to pee.....again - fight the urge to get up an go for 10 minutes - realize am losing battle - get up - stub toe on random item on the floor - curse item - go to bathroom - flush toilet - toilet acts like it will flush but quits halfway through - curse toilet -flush again holding handle until it's officially down - go back to room - step on hanger that I have refused to pick up for 3 days - curse hanger - lay down - repeat.

I don't know why I am sick again...I feel like I just had this. And I really never get sick. Maybe it's because I'm so malnourished. Amy swears we're getting the scurvy.
