We hate you, flu

So Leigh, Mia and I are passing around the flu. Fabulous. Mia's been taking baby medicine. The doctor prescribed some cough syrup and nasal spray, and I've been supplementing with Tylenol. This doesn't seem to be doing much good. Using the nasal spray is like holding a water hose up to the Hoover Dam. There's no breaking through that wall. To explain the kind of congestion that's happening here, imagine eating a bowl of cereal. But you can't finish it because you have to stop to breathe out of your mouth mid-chew! It's like you're pausing on the stairs between floors at your office because you're so out of shape you can't go up one flight. Or you have to suck in a whole bunch of air and then chew really, really fast so you can exhale after you swallow. It's like a diving expedition. Who gets winded eating a bowl of cereal?!? I'm going to go ahead and consider this exercise.
