Cough, cough, cough.

I have a cough. A silly, little, dry, tickly kind of cough. It is so irritating to my throat, to me and to everyone else who can hear it. Whenever I cough, it doesn't achieve anything; all I feel is that I need to cough again. And the worst part is, it doesn't let me sleep well. When I don't sleep well, I get grouchy and grumpy and grizzly. Then I'm tired the next day and my cough isn't any better because I haven't slept well enough to get better. It's a vicious circle. Vicious circles suck. I want to be better.

Pass the cough syrup!
