begone damn cold

i have

had it 

its been over week

 this miserable cold

 isn't just lingering

 it feels as if its getting worse

 my nose hurts

 inside and out

 i cough

 i sound horrible

i get 

no comfort 

from the fact

that

 whatever

 this icky mess

 is

 i am not alone

 3 of my co-workers have it

 our office

 sounds

 more

 a doctor's waiting room

 with

 all the coughing

 wheezing

 nose blowing

 throat clearing

 jeez 

i decided

 i couldn't stand it one more day

 so i called my doctor

 i know

 mary

 i promised

 i would call on monday

but

 i am not one to run to the doctor for a cold

now

 i dont think

 its

 just a cold

 i am thinking 

its

a sinus infection

 for which

 there's meds

 vs

 a cold

 for which

 there's nothing you can do

 but 

drink liquids and rest

 anyway

 i am seeing my doctor

 today

 (thursday morning)

 meanwhile

 here's a shot

 my phone took

 on its own 

when

 i went to the dentist 

last friday
