David and I are still manfully (and womanfully) fighting our colds. I had a terrible night of coughing last night which really annoyed James, and he said that I was also groaning in my sleep, a strange and fairly recent habit. Despite this I felt fairly chipper today and had a productive day at work.
I am now keen to see off my cold as quickly as possible so I have bought some Lemsip Max and also a selection of cough syrups for me and David. I say a selection because I had no idea what to choose. I decided on the Benylin brand because that's what my Mum always got me as a child, so I reckon it's reliable. And I got three bottles: Tickly Coughs, Chesty Coughs, and Mucus Cough Menthol. I lined them all up and after some deliberation and much experimental coughing we chose Tickly Cough, because the cough is definitely more throaty than chesty just now. Also if I take a Chesty cough syrup which promises to make my cough more "productive" and it turns out that my bronchial tubes don't need clearing, it might damage them in some way. So I hope that I have made the correct choice. I'm all dosed up and hoping for a peaceful night and a speedy recovery. I hate colds.
