Feeling Puny

This miserable cold started on Thursday evening, when I first felt that ominous tickle in my throat.

I honked and sneezed my way through my teaching day today and am now downing soup for dinner — a sure sign of sickness because I HATE soup.

And I'm in a bad mood too. Grrrrrr!

This misery is coming at a bad time. Next week all my composition students will be submitting their final drafts for the VFW essay contests.

On the plus side, perhaps going off my feed will result in my losing a few pounds. In any case, I'm turning in early tonight and hoping to get a bit of extra sleep, provided the hacking cough and the nasal drainage don't keep me awake.
