I have the sniffles.<\/p>\n
I think the sniffles are worse than a full-blown cold or actual sickness. When you’re actually sick, you can take a day off of work and sleep in and eat soup while watching daytime television. Your body may not be very functional, but you know you’re on the way to recovery.<\/p>\n
Of course, being entirely healthy is the best option. But the sniffles? They’re just enough to be annoying without being bothersome enough to take solid action. You feel just a bit off and don’t quite know which direction you’re headed. Am I going to get sicker? Or will this just pass in a day or so, like it has so many times before?<\/p>\n
It’s kind of like the weather. I enjoy the weather most when it’s bright and sunny and there’s not a cloud in the sky. That’s a great day. But if it’s going to rain or snow, I want it to pour and thunderstorm or blizzard (as long as I’m inside, making soup and watching daytime television). I don’t want some weak drizzle or slushy mess on the road.<\/p>\n
That’s what the sniffles are. A slushy mess.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
