in a black hole somewhere in space...?

So, I just woke up at the lovely time of 11:45-ish.

Last night sucked. Due to all the coughing.
The muscles of my rib cage hurt from all the coughing I'm doing.
And I can't seem to find anything that will actually help get rid of the coughing.

Am drinking tea, the one called 'Throat Coat'. It's supposed to help with this kind of thing.
Am using cough drops.
Am taking Vitamin C.

What else is there?
Any suggestions for this would really be appreciated!
As, I am really tired of coughing so god damn much.

And to make matters more dreary, my four Amber novels have been delayed in shipping. They're now estimated to be delivered by September... o.O SEPTEMBER?! *sighs*

book meme!

1. Grab the nearest book.

3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 3 sentences on your LJ along with these instructions.
5. Don’t you dare dig for that "cool" or "intellectual" book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest.
6. Tag five people.

'I backed against the wall, wondering if I could jump over him. I had to talk fast. "A detective called me."'

From Kitty and The Midnight Hour by Carrie Vaughn.

Annnnnnnd I don't tag people, just whoever wants to do it do it.
