Neverending Cold

This cold started last monday a week ago, and it continues to hang-on and get worse. Last night I was up all night coughing. D had to sleep in the spare bedroom with the door closed it was so bad. I hate taking antibiotics, so I rarely go to the doctor, because I swear that's their answer to everything. But this morning I called N who said I def need to go. I got an appointment for this morning. I really hope I don't need 'biotics. They just f-up your system. I swear I can't remember the last time I took any. It's been at least 8 years.
