My head is filling slowly with viscous liquid that borders on gelatinous and my throat is painful and threatens to swell itself shut any moment, I am stuck at home and have nothing to do, the combination of the speedy cold and flu medication and the tranqulizer effect of the cough syrup have me dancing precariously on awake and asleep.

I'm pissed off because I can't even swallow soup, and I like soup.
