Let me re-introduce myself, I’m Casey, QUEEN of the cold sore. This isn’t a title a take lightly, but it is one I have had my entire life. I remember refusing to go to school one morning because it was picture day… and I had a huge, ugly cold sore in the middle of my face. If only I known about Abreva back in the late early 00s, I could have taken care of that ugly thing before my picture day melt down!
Speaking of ugly things, Austin’s cough and sniffling when he catches a cold is horrendous. There is nothing I want to do more than him feel better when he’s sick. Selfishly speaking, the entire vibe in the house changes when he isn’t feeling himself. But the best part about one of us being sick… all of the Netflix binging!
