My Darling B and I have been fighting a nasty upper respiratory infection since about, oh, I don’t know, Christmas? Yeah, that’s about right. Mine’s not as nasty as hers is, though. About once a week I wake up with a stuffy head and lots of boogers, and occasionally I have to cough up a loogie.

My Darling B’s infection is a tad more virulent. She would so desperately love to cough up a loogie. “I’ve been trying to cough up this phlegm since Christmas!” she blurted the other day, after yet another coughing fit. “If I could hack up just one good, solid wad, I’d keep it in a baby food jar in the refrigerator!”
