Colds suck!

Well, my carpool buddy to San Diego got sick Saturday and almost called to say he couldn't travel on Sunday. I was praying that somehow I'd beat the odds - only 6.5 hours together in a small-ish car Friday. My luck ran out.

Monday I felt run down, but chalked it up more to the 13 hour round trip where I drove. Tuesday my throat was so sore I couldn't sleep well because every swallow caused pain followed by stuffy nose.

Tonight, I see there's hope. I felt worse this morning, but now swallowing isn't so painful. In fact, the burn on my finger hurts worse. Yes, I was boiling more water for tea with honey and the steam got me pretty good. Hopefully I don't keep repeating that stupid mistake.
