January colds oh how I loathe thee

So starting about last Thursday I started feeling a little under the weather. I thought it might just be a minor cold, but to my dismay it was not. Friday night came around and I felt even worse, but I did not feel sick. So I vegged for most of the day trying to get some r and r. Saturday came around and I felt pretty good all signs of a cold (or what the doctors always call a virus cause they have no idea what the hell is wrong) were non-existent. Saturday night the wife and I decided to go out and shoot some pool for some practice (since we shoot league pool on Thursday night). A couple of games in and oh man did this cold hit me full force! My whole body ached. From my head to my toes; I felt like I had worked out for 24 hours straight. So I went home and pounded down some vitamin c and Echinacea. Sunday morning I ended up with that tickle in the throat and the coughing started. Phlegm galore started and so did the headaches.  So that brought me to Sunday night where a nice little ear infection set in at about 2 am. By the time I finally got that to settle down and get back to sleep it was 4 am. So here I sit with cotton in ear and meds galore in me trying to kick this nasty thing...

The sad thing is I get this cold/virus thing every year and it last 1-2 weeks. I guess at least I am unemployed at the moment and I can get over it before I go back to work. So here is to good drugs and good life!
