Colds Suck

I haven't had one in such a long time. Not sure where I picked it up, but timing of it suggests my Thanksgiving family gathering (And no, don't ANYONE in my family be upset that I got sick. We had the times of our lives out there!).

Yet, there I was yesterday, starting to sneeze, getting more and more congested during the day at work, feeling cold when I wasn't, and achy. By the time I got home, it was clear I wasn't going to do much last night. I had the foresight to cancel my Girl Scout meeting, so I wouldn't "spread the wealth" to my girls. Oh, did I mention my nose is still healing, so every time I sneeze, it is a new adventure in pain? Yeah. Fun.

I guess it was good that I planned to work at home today. It has let me get work done without getting out of bed.

Anyhow, Nyquil is my friend. Whoever created that vile concoction is my friend. I can't take it during the day. But you can bet I do at night right now. With an Amaretto chaser, the stuff is actually tolerable. Illness also gives me a good excuse to enjoy a particular Tomato Bisque I love. It has enough spice to get through my nose. Only problem: It is $5.00 per quart. But soooooo yummy.
