Death! Pestilence!

Shawn [of Psych and “He’s so ugly!” fame]: There he is!
Gus [blinking, shaking his head]: What time is it?
Shawn: Dayyyyyyyytime.
Gus [realizing he’s in the passenger seat of his own car]: What happened?
Shawn: I might have dropped 6 allergy pills in your Frosty while you were peeing.
I have a cold!

This is unfortunate, as I really did want to get back into the libraries when they opened up at the end of vacation period. Instead I’ve been sleeping twelve or thirteen hours a night, rubbing my nose and upper lip so raw that I have almost doubled the radius of my open mouth, and single-handedly created as much snot as there is sludge on Moscow streets (a lot, that means).

Excuse me, my five minutes are up. I need to go find another Kleenex.

Edited to add:

December 31: Frozen Icarus thinks, "I haven't done any kind of facial-hair challenge since 2008's Decem-beard. I want a mustache." The mustache growing begins (it is currently in the form of a disconnected goatee until the mustache is long enough to stand on its own.)
January 13: Briullov sends me this link.

Yes! I am exactly a fortnight ahead of the curve! I've not felt this great since I heard Owl City's "Fireflies" (via Pandora) a good two months before WFNX played it. Hurrah!

I hope you feel better soon! I bet Madison could give you and the sludge on Moscow streets a run for your money. We're talking faucet here! Gotta love teething / colds :)

Aww, poor baby. Maybe the mustache can act as snot catcher? ;)

I clicked out to the article. I love it! Although, they are missing three important 'staches: 1.) Burt Reynolds. 2.) TOM SELLECK and 3.) Paul Fraser!!! (a.k.a. my dad)

why are your blog posts so BODILY of late? Snot, illness, vomit, urine. What's next...actually scratch that, I don't want to know.

If you decide to turn to the 'stache article for inspiration on how to trim your new mouth-hairs...i think good old uncle Ernest is the obvious choice.:)

Physical, mental, and emotional health do not need to be in tripartite opposition.
