Ugh. I'm sick with a stupid cold. I haven't had a cold for over a year now and summer is a pathetic time to get sick. It started on Sunday evening with a raw scratchy feeling in my throat. I figured well maybe it'll go away so I took some Echinacea and went to sleep. The next day my throat felt better but I was starting to get sniffly. And so it goes. Sniffly turns into sneezy then clogged up then wooly headed, stuffy nosed, raw throated, achy cold. Blech. There must be a nasty virus going around because a lot of people are coming down sick. Well I've drawn up the battle lines. Armed with advil, echinancea, and orange juice I've added the big guns today - chicken soup and zinc. Hopefully I can blast this virus by the weekend. I hate being sick.
