Trying to Sleep Through the Ickiness

My sore throat is evolving into a stuffy nose and painful cough. Which I actually think I prefer trouble breathing through my nose to a raw throat. At least I'll be able to eat without pain even if my sense of taste is lacking. My diet for the past two days has consisted of cough drops and popsicles so I'm ready for something a little more substantial. I'll be glad when this cold has vacated the premises. I'm all done with feeling like I've been drop kicked in the face.

In other news Kieran has been shock collared. So far I think he's just scared of whatever it is that keeps zapping him causing him to crawl into the nearest available lap whenever the opportunity arises. But I have to admit, his barking has lessened when the collar is on. But he's smart enough to know when it's off so it might take a while to break the barking altogether. We'll see. We have a month before he needs to be apartment ready.

Nothing else really going on. Just trying to survive this sickness and hang out with the family when I'm not in a cold medication induced coma. I'm missing Ryan, but I'm trying not to think about it too much and just take things a day at a time readying myself for when I can move with him. I have some boxes to reorganize, a license to obtain, and a guitar I can learn to play. But first I have to beat this cold of doom!
