Sickie

I've been fighting off a cold for almost a week now, and I have to say, it hasn't been pleasant.  Ever since my trip north I've had a tickle that just won't go away.  Today I actually stayed home from work because that tickle turned me into a sneezing, watering, nauseated sad sack.  Blech.  

May my ministrations of tea, vitamins, and immune boosters have some sort of impact soon.
I HATE being sick; why does it happen to me so often?? 

*sigh*
