Sickness

This cold is passing through my family (which is really dangerous in my Mom's condition).

But my dad has this really terrible way of clearing his throat.
It's like...the worst thing you've ever heard.

Because it's like he'll hawk a loogie in this huge gusto,
and then you think it's over.
But then he follows it with a cough. And then another.
Then he sniffs really heavily, sucking all the phlegm back in.
I swear you can hear it like reorganizing inside his cranium.

Ugh.

And me? I'm just eating my weight on Halls Honey-Lemon cough drops and sleeping a lot.
