a person can develop a cold....

In an effort to fend off a cold I have been drinking Green Tea with Echinacea and sucking on Cold-EEZE drops all day. I don't think it is working. The longer I am at work, the worse I am beginning to feel. I have gone through so many kleenex/napkins that I think my nose....well you don't need to know the details.

It's very rare that I get sick. I get the sore throat/cold sniffles maybe once a year and then I am good to go. I think that is why I am so much more whiny and pitiful when I actually do get sick. I'm just not used to it. All I want to do is lie on the couch with something warm to eat/drink and have D sit and cuddle with me. Now I realize this lends him to getting sick too, but frankly if he hasn't gotten it yet, chances are he is safe.

I have plenty of sick time built up at work and could very easily take a day, but there is so much work to be done with the show opening next week that I can't make myself take the day. If I did I would be checking my email constantly and worrying whether or not the program was going to meet its deadline, etc. I know! I know! If I don't take the day, I shouldn't complain.....
