*cough*
*hack*
*wheeze*
*sniffle*
*sneeze*
These were the sounds emanating from our house this weekend. Yes, my friends, we were all transformed from the happy, jolly family of norm into leaking, snorting monsters. It started with Hubby, and progressed to the rest of the house. First Schprid and I got sick, then the living room (it started spewing out blankets, tissues, and even clothes), then the kitchen (it started growing a terrifiying fungus called dishes, which has grown and spread at a prodigious rate). It's even spread a little bit to the bedrooms, which have sprouted a few tissues of their own. It was terrifying.
We confined ourselves to the house, constrained ourselves with the blankets, and did our best to drug each other into submission. Perhaps, we reasoned, since it started with us, the house would get better if we did.
It almost worked. We're mostly better now. We feel better, at least, even if we are still leaking and hacking a little bit. At any rate, Christmas waits for no monster, and we have things to do, so, better or not, we're better.
The house, on the other hand, still needs some serious medicine. Hubby gave it a good dose yesterday, but it'll be a team effort to get it back to the state it was in.
Do you suppose NyQuil helps to cure dishes?

I don't know, Chels, the alcohol in liquid Nyquil might help sanitize them!
I'm grateful for tissues. Imagine if you had to wash all those hankies. By hand. In a washtub over a fire.
You'd be tellng your kids, "don't blow your nose, just pick the boogers out and fling them into a bush."
Unless you were very refined. And then you'd have a maid to wash all those hankies. And she'd be secretly telling your kids the same thing.
Seriously, glad you are feeling better. Try some when you get your taste buds back. I don't know what it is either; it's the word of the day! Sounds like a yummy food, though.
Wait, it said I could italicize, so I did and the word disappeared. It was supposed to say "try some PARNISO when you get your taste buds back.
New WV: pusnog--sounds like another great word for booger!
Sorry if this offends your refined sensibilities--but you did use the word "snot." Love you!
Don't you worry in the slightest- my sensibilities are only refined in certain circumstances. ;) And yes, I'm very grateful for tissues, especially when you put it that way!
Hope your Christmas season is going well!
