How much does that suck?

Hmmmm, I was all excited to upload the blog I had been working on at home on disc, but unfortunately, I seem to have contracted a virus and therefore cannot open the file. How does this happen? So I need to fix that, but I promise that very soon you will get to read about my trip to La Serena, the beautiful beach town I visited, and the Valle del Elqui, which I toured as well. It will be worth the wait, I promise. But I´m not about to re-type it all, as much as I want to.

But just a little nugget for tonight`s entertainment: I still have a nasty cold, though I`ve been drinking some great salvia tea I picked up in Pisco Elqui. My current dilemma is getting the phlem out. I hate that, and I´m not butch enough to figure out how to spit (like, hock up a LUGI, or however you spell it)! It´s like, I cough or sneeze, and the mucus comes up, but I can`t get it out. Any suggestions? I really hate swallowing it every time.

Now if that doesn`t get you interested in reading the rest of my blog, I don`t know what will. And I apologize if there`s something far more important I should be commenting on, but right now, my snot is all I know. More later. Much more. Not about my respiratory difficulties, I promise.
