woe is my nose

i had a cough all last week. and last night, my nose decided to catch up.

i am now sitting here with a wad of tissue stuck up my left nostril, in an attempt to control the flow.
[oh-so-attractive.]

i blame the cough syrup...since I had no other symptoms until after I downed the two teaspoons.

sicknast.

my parents convinced me to swallow the disgusting stuff yesterday before lunch.

i complained, i whined, i tried to find a way out...but alas, to no avail.

finally, i put on a brave face, pinched my nose, and tried not to think about what i was putting in my mouth...

it was not pretty.

but i had my mom there to cheer me on, as she made sure i got every last drop.
