Ok, so I started feeling shitty on Saturday morning, but I drank a ton of juice, took robotussin, and Monday afternoon I thought I was finally over it.

Went to bed monday night.... Proceeded to COUGH MYSELF TO DEATH for 8 hours straight. I'm talking jumping up every hour or so to run to the bathroom with involuntary tears streaming from my eyes, afraid I'm gonna puke. So basically I keep myself and my wife up all night.. but here's the kicker.

I wake up this morning, and I feel ok. I definately don't feel like I missed an entire night's sleep, and I sure don't feel like I spent the whole night coughing. My chest is a little sore, but that's it.

So I head into work (with my wife telling me that I need to go to the doctor, which I despise..) I'm at work for about an hour, maybe two, before my wife sends me an e-mail, asking me to call her when I get done at the Doctor's office and let her know what I have. Yes.. she's crafty. I'm sure she knew if she called me, or sent me an e-mail outright saying "You need to go to the doctor" I wouldn't have gone. So I go.

Annnnnnndddddd I have bronchitis!!! Hooray!!! So I cancel the dentist appointment I had for later (oh it was looking like a fun day already), proceed to go convince the pharmacist that yes, I DO have insurance, spend 60 bucks on 3 bottles of pills and some liquid, and then work from home the rest of the day. (Yes, I'm stubborn). Not to mention the fact that after the other guys in my office left, we had quite a few things come in.

So in the interest of not keeping my wife up for another night, I volunteered to sleep on the couch. To her credit, she tried to take the spare bed, but I refused and took the couch, I'm not going to make her suffer because i'm sick, and it's not likely I'll get much sleep anyway. I'm annoyed, i'm missing my friends, I haven't had a drink in a week, and it's lame. I don't have a good reason for telling you guys, but i've been here awhile, and respect everyone here quite a bit, so I figured I'd share my pain. Anyone else having a crappy day?
