The reason for the mulligrubs

I think I have a reason for my mulligrub mood over the weekend.

I was starting to come down with something. Claire too. She's had this dry cough since last Thursday, then Sunday it turned worse and she would start gagging because she was coughing so hard. Then she started sounding congested. Then I started coughing Sunday night. Poor little girl got so congested that she couldn't sleep because she couldn't breathe. She and I spent Monday night in the recliner. I took her to the doctor Tuesday and we were sent home with a nebulizer and a Rx for some antibiotics. The nebulizer is helping her breathe and she doesn't sound quite as congested, but she still has this rattle in her throat and chest that makes you want to cough and clear your throat. As for me, I managed to run 5 miles on Monday before I really started feeling like crap. Sometime Monday night I somehow managed to do something to my upper back/neck (could be from sleeping in the recliner?) and it hurts to turn my head, or look up. Even picking Claire up hurts. So imagine me - nagging cough, can't turn my head without turning my entire upper body, and so sleep deprived from staying up with a sick baby. I have a race on Saturday. I hope my back at least stops hurting by then...
