Another day another germ. I don`t mind being ill. Tonsillitis twice a year as a child saw to that. It`s the sleeping and breathing problems I could live without.

Last night was another fun filled experience. In bed at ten, still awake (and coughing the whole street up) at three. I have to lie on my left side to ease the chest pain, on my back to keep my head clear and on my right side to get rid of the tickle in my throat that makes me cough. Add to this the fact that the cold means I have to breath through my mouth, and the fact that I`m producing a lot more saliva than usual. All this leads to me lying in bed on my left side; head twisted backwards to the right with my mouth hanging open and dribbling like a deranged person. Such an attractive sight. How glad am I that I don`t share my room with anyone?

Plus to top it all off, the antibiotics are kicking in, so I feel even worse today. Oh joy, only a couple more weeks to go :-(
