Of course, it could just be from a common cold too (the gods know we haven't been treating ourselves right for it, so our self-abuse might have got back at us).
Although we're "highly infectious" (or is that just my delightful personality  ), this does have the advantage of getting me out of social engagements. Our recent visitors are none too impressed however (now reporting back to us with their own developing symptoms).
Last night though, I actually had a good night's sleep (first in a week). It wasn't improving symptoms (as my waking, hacking, slime-coated cough confirmed) but, I suspect, the codeine working it's poppy-magic on me.
Thanks for the well-wishing, all.

I've got a screamingly bad allergy to codeine. The type of allergy that lands you in the ER with symptoms of shock. Circulatory system begins to shut down, lungs begin to shut down .... highly unpleasant. Count your lucky stars you can take the damn stuff. And get well, dammit!!
