The power of a cold

Somehow I caught a cold last week.  It started feeling like a sore throat on Thursday, and by Friday I was starting to feel miserable.  Saturday and Sunday were write-offs and then Monday came and it still felt like someone had been using me for a punching bag.  Only by the end of Monday did I finally feel like eating something.  3 day starvation diet!  Yipee.

It truly is amazing that a little microscopic virus and his friends can take down a human being so efficiently.
