I got some medicine with codeine, which seems really hard core to me

My doctor called in sick.

That's when you know it's going to be a good day.

But the cough sounded gross enough for me to keep my appointment to see the physician's assistant.

And, guess what. I'm not dying, it's not ebola. It's not the plague. My baby might be annoyed at my cough, but it's not the first time -- nor the last -- that I will annoy him or her.

It won't be long before I start mispronouncing his or her favorite band. Ahhhh, those'll be the days.
