'Tis the Seasons for Colds

So the cold has struck.

I love the holidays but I hate being sick.

I don't have the time for it, it stresses me out and I hate having a stuffy nose almost as much as I hate having chapped lips.

Everyone at work was getting sick, like three weeks ago. And I took the precautions, washed my hands more than usual, cleaned my desk after anyone stopped by to chat, and avoiding contact as much as possible. But then, my boyfriend's nieces were sick at Thanksgiving.

The one, Sophia, is five years old and we've bonded. I love the munchkin. But, she hung on me all night, and then my boyfriend got sick. We live together, so I knew it was only a matter of time.

Sigh.

But, it's the weekend and I can relax for two days on my couch.

But still, being sick is awful. This is probably the worst cold I've ever had. The other night it felt like I was hit by a semi-truck. Anyone else get this cold?
