The Evil Red Drink

Ugh! EVERY time we visit my nephews I catch "the crud". My nephews had slight colds over Christmas and I'm pretty sure I caught whatever they had. I woke up this morning and my throat was clogged and I couldn't breathe. Poor Mike had to get up and sit with me to make sure I didn't asphyxiate! I spent the entire day today on the couch feeling like crap. Mike disappeared for a few minutes and came back with some truly evil medicine that he practically had to force down me. Whoever said that cherry flavoring helps the medicine go down more smoothly is freaking crazy. I don't know what's worse, being ill or taking the evil red drink.
