Sucks. Also on my desk now: Riiiiiiiiicola! And some generic not-Afrin nasal spray. And Robitussin DM bottle #2, since bottle #1 is almost gone. And the controlled-substance version of Sudafed.

Sorry to hear about the cold, and watch to make sure it hasn't changed from a viral infection to a bacterial infection since you're at the one week infection mark. Oh yea, necessarily medical disclaimer about my not being a medically licensed doctor and how you should get medical advice from someone who's gone through med school and passed USMLE and preferably be licensed to practice etc. Jane :-) I seriously doubt there is any way at all to encapsulate the taste of guaifenesin and make it taste better….

Hey- I'm still sick too. I've literally been sick for over a month now! Gotta love working with kids. (Besides, I haven't made through Thanksgiving without being sick for the past five years. Why start now?) You’re welcome. Hey- I’m still sick too. I’ve literally been sick for over a month now! Gotta love working with kids.

I swear, the best thing about Thanksgiving this year is that it's over and we got away from the people who share our genes and germs. Sigh. Your brother, my dad.
