Coughy

I can't believe I'm sick again. This is pathetic! I think I was sick for the entire month of December and the first week or two of January. Then I had a little reprieve, and now this! What is UP?

I randomly started coughing and wheezing on Sunday. That's never happened to me. Usually I start with a head cold and then eventually it makes its way down to a chest cold. This time I had the coughing junk on Sunday and Monday, and last night I got terrible sleep because I kept waking up coughing. Today I was coughing way more than yesterday but now I seem to be getting the head congestion, too. Cold in reverse!

My plan is to stay up until Jen gets home from work and then try to head to bed. I might take some of Jen's old prescription cough syrup from when she had bronchitis before bed. I had a wonky reaction to codeine once when I got my wisdom teeth out, but I'm willing to try again if it means I might get some decent sleep for a change! *yawn*

And gah, why are the Boston try-outs so BAD? What is WITH this town?

From the horse's mouth

Before David Letterman got to shave Ben Roethlisberger's beard Monday night, he got the Steelers' Super Bowl-winning quarterback to admit a little something that might rankle Seahawks fans even more.

Roethlisberger told Letterman that he didn't think he scored on a controversial play in the second quarter that put the Steelers ahead for good 7-3. Roethlisberger dove toward the end zone but didn't appear to get the ball to touch the goal line. But officials on the field signaled touchdown.

"I told Coach, 'I don't think I got in,'" Roethlisberger told Letterman.
