... you go to blow your nose and you put the tissue over your face, give a good blow, and snot immediately fills up the ENTIRE tissue and comes flying out the bottom of the issue all over your chin and down your neck before you even realize what is happening?
while you're at work.
but luckily you don't think it's polite to blow your nose in public, so at least you went to the bathroom to do it.
and at least after you wash yourself off in the girl's bathroom sink, you actually feel kinda refreshed having gotten that half a gallon of snot out of your head.
on another good note, i was too busy on tuesday to go buy the heavy antibiotics the nurse prescribed or schedule a chest x-ray, so i just didn't. and i woke up wednesday feeling MUCH better. still a tiny bit rattly in the lungs, but minimally so. minimally enough that i decided to ignore all medical advice and just wait and see. this morning i woke up with no chest rattle at all, which is amazing given that every breath for the last 5 days sounded like a bulldozer stuck in the mud. thanks for prayers!
the indonesian medical system: successfully avoided, once again.

at least it came out of your nose... when I had pneumonia, I would cough and my mouth would instantly fill with green snot. I still shudder at the memory!
