Halls and Mr. Clean

I'm beginning to feel frustrated. A week or two ago, I got a cold. No big deal, wasn't that bad, seemed like it would pass quickly. Overall, I've felt back to normal for several days, but I have this cough...

Annoyingly, I don't cough at all during the day. I start coughing in the evening, and then proceed to cough all night. I've haven't slept well for days. And I'm tired. I've been sucking on Halls cough drops while I sleep, which means that I can't wear my mouth guard (haven't figured out how to do both at once) which means that I'm also grinding my teeth. My poor husband is tired too. Coughing and teeth grinding -- not good. At midnight last night I finally went and laid down on the couch so at least he could get some sleep. It's gotta be psychological -- how can I only cough when I'm trying to go to sleep and hardly cough at all any other time of the day??! That just makes me annoyed at myself! The lack of sleep is starting to add up -- I can't keep this up forever! Maybe I'll just fall over unconscious tonight. You can't cough while you're unconscious, can you?

On the bright side, I love Tuesdays. Those of you who don't have a cleaning fetish won't understand this. On Tuesdays, my kitchen floor and my bathrooms exist in a state of cleanliness at the same time together for like...5 hours. It only lasts until the kids come home from school, but every week I love it. So...Happy Tuesday!!
