Coughing up a lung

So I thought that my cold should be gone by now. I mean, it's been almost two weeks of persistent hacking and coughing and it's just as bad as it's been all along. Geez louise, can't I get a break? I'm supposed to go to the Children's Convalescent Hospital in San Diego tomorrow and now I'm wondering if I should attempt it or not. After all, these children don't need my icky germs on them. Of course, I don't believe that I'm contagious at this point in time. I have finally rid myself of the dreaded fever and I don't feel sick at this point. However, the stuffy nose, scratchy cough and general sound of my voice would make one wonder. My biggest goal at this point would be to recover to normal (whatever that is) before I leave to Fresno for Thanksgiving week. Yes, I said week. I'm going up on Monday and coming home Friday. Unfortunately, I have to work on Saturday morning, so I'll be home before then. :( Oh well, I'll have time to spend there before I leave. Of course, it's never enough, and it really won't be enough if I'm not at 100% when I get there. Blah, blah, blah, poor me. Of course, if I'm still sick, then Simon will be forced to nurse me back to health. Ah ha!! Maybe that should be my new plan! We'll see how I'm feeling a little more than a week from now. That does give me a sufficient amount of time to recover completely and get all the things done that I need to do. Well, I should probably go now because I need to blow my nose so that I can attempt to breathe again.
