history: I was super grossed out last week when I had a sore throat and was coughing up a lot of phlegm. I know it's just a symptom of the cold, but it was still pretty nasty. I had such a bad cold last week_comma_ I was coughing up a lot of nasty stuff into cups just so that it wouldn't hurt when I swallowed.
current: did you go to the doctor
next: No, thankfully my symptoms weren't anything that couldn't be managed with a stiff mimosa or seven. But still, I had to throw those cups out. Yuck.
