Oh and found out from watching the news, this thing I have lasts 3 weeks or so (tomorrow is 3 weeks) and that I'm not the only one. And they're calling it "the crud" lol. AND get this!!!!! They recommend honey and onions!!! I about collapsed in half with laughter! That's what I've been doing. 

Ok, so this is NOT a typical day and not a typical situation, but this happens sometimes.
