Leave it to me to sing the praises of cold weather one day and end up sick with a thick old head cold the next.
I feel like my head is full of cotton candy that's sat rotting in the mud for days after the carnival closed and all the freaky carnies have long since gone bumping down the road in their garish wagons. I feel like my nose is stuffed with that quick dry spray foam that they use to make fake rocks on stage in the theater. I feel like I can't come up with one more silly simile without my skull crashing down against the hard, uncaring surface of my desk.
Snore. Sorry guys, I've got nothing for you today, but I still love you all (no energy for exclamation points though).

Dearest, didn't you say you walked the dog at an ungodly hour yesterday morning with only a hoodie on? Feeling the freezing air slide your nostrils together or some such?
Darling, you must always remember to wear a hat. (*said in a loving motherly tone*) Have some chicken soup and orange juice for lunch. You'll feel better.
:( I hope you feel better soon!!! xx
Yikes-- well you gave us some good writing in those similes!!

Not fun. I had those similies last week. Not fun at all.
Hope you feel better!
!Get!Better!Now!
Whoa. Surprised you made it to the keyboard. Take care of yourself and I hope you feel better soon!
From Hallmark's new line of Get Well cards:
When you feel like your head is full of cotton candy that's sat rotting in the mud for days after the carnival closed and all the freaky carnies have long since gone bumping down the road in their garish wagons...

Crash your skull down against the hard, uncaring surface of your desk.
(And feel better soon!)
Awwww, feel better! If it helps, I was thoroughly moved (i.e., kind of disgusted) by your description of the left-behind cotton candy. Nasty, man. Hope you ditch this cold fast :)
well, the cold definitely gave you some vivid descriptions.
Hugs. Feel better soon. I'm suffering from the cotton wool head cold as well. Damn you cold weather. Damn you to hell. lol.
Here...!!!!!!!!!....you can borrow some of mine. :)
Feel better soon!
You just found out that old man winter is really a wicked S.O.B. And Matt? The nose? Pick it!
For someone who's under the weather, your writing has come out brilliantly. Such vivid imagery you've posted here in regards to indicating your level of lacking health.
I wish you a full and speedy recovery, Matthew.
aw man, feel better soon!
and
yuck!
:)
Hope you feel better soon! *Hands over mug of hot lemon and ginger tea with honey.*
Awww, Matt. That sucks.
I loathe being sick.
Vitamin C and Echinacea tea are your friends.
I hope you feel better soon. The ick has invaded our house as well.
I hope you feel better soon! Nothing's worse than being sick. :(
Beth wants Timmy to feel better.
Just start slappin da bass mon. Always works.
Hey, I'm right there with you - third day running for me. Gah. Sometimes I think those Snowbirds flooding to Florida every winter have the right idea...
*spews laughter* And not because you're sick, but yeah. LOL!
Hope you feel better soon.
Feel better. On the bright side, at least you know illness brings out some darn creative similies in you. :)
Matthew, Matthew, Matthew. Well, your brain isn't sick - what with all of that witty writing you just did! Feel better, my friend!!
Well, you still managed to come up with some fascinating writing there, despite your germ-fogged brain. Drink lotsa liquids and slurp some chicken soup, dude! Hope ya feel better and are well by Christmas.
I had bronchitis this year (sick for 2 weeks.) here's to hoping you get well much sooner.
Boo! I had that last week and it was not fun. i'm still dealing with the after effect symptoms
Sorry you feel like crap, but from your description, it sounds like you have the makings of a good story!
Sleep!! Rest!!! Turn off your pc!! Go to bed!! Herb tea and honey!!
Sleep!! Olbas oil or vicks vapour rub.
Sleep!! :-) Take care

Yikes! Poor guy. Maybe throw in some extra Vitamin D and hopefully it will shorten the length of your cold. Hang in there.

Matthew - Sor sorry you're sick. Hang in there and take cure!!! =D
Your bad day similes beat my good day similes. Get better.
At least the garish wagons didn't back up and run you over.
well - there is an introductory post for you :-) Hope you are feeling better soon. I was just visiting Lydia at the word is my oyster where you left an interesting coment so I had to stop by and check it out.
I expect Georgia is freezing - Virginia is unseasonably cold - we never freeze before January for goodness sake! Thankfully the husband recently stocked up on bourbon so its all good-
The unfortunate downside to cold weather . . .
Feel better!
Aw that's really crappy. Hope you feel better soon!
It's not the cold...I had the same "crud" before the arctic blast descended in our lovely southern states. Feel better!
Bummer! Hope you feel better soon- being sick is no fun :(
Ack! Hang in there! Sickness at holiday time is just brutal.
Sorry you feel yucky. I hope you get better quick.
You poor thing! Try to get some rest! And don't worry! I've got enough exclamation marks for the both of us!
