We're sick here.
My head weighs three hundred pounds, and approximately 288 of those 300 pounds is snot. Snot that makes its way out every two seconds, causing my nose to become this sad, red, raw dying appendage, which is being mourned by my face that is breaking out in great waves of grief and unstoppable acne. Possibly, I am growing a replacement nose on my left cheek, and that would explain the giant protrusion taking over my complexion.
(Now aren't you glad you came by?)
(At least I'm not posting pictures!)
The kids are sick too.
Kevin was sick first.
He gave it to us, and then he skipped away merrily to work, leaving us to fend for ourselves in this snotty disaster.
Not that being sick stopped me from eating at every restaurant in Northwest Indiana over the long weekend, twice, because I did do that. And also had a DQ blizzard not once, but twice. In three days. Because isn't that what people who are trying to finish their weight loss journey do? Eat for kicks?
I was down two tenths of a pound at the Weight Watcher's meeting tonight, which is pretty damn incredible, all things considered.
Thank God I blew my nose before I stepped on the scale.
I swear I'll be back with something readworthy as soon as my face stops throbbing and I don't need the neck muscles of three burly lumberjacks to hold my head upright. Until then, go visit my good friend, Cindy. The clock is ticking loudly, and she's in need of support.
That was frickin' hilarious.
Not that I am laughing at your misery or anything.
Just the way you write about it...
The images running through my head!

We have had some sort of sickness or another as well - one catches it then passes it on just for fun, right?! This shit better clear up before Hawaii is all I'm saying.
Hope you are all feeling well soon! Go eat a Blizzard, or three. It'll make you feel better!

The amount of snot the human body produces never ceases to amaze me.
Feel better!
