full blown cold

it's official.

apparently i wasn't resting quite enough for my body post-semester.  i've been fighting the beginnings of a nasty cold going around the family for a few days now.  and today, the bug stopped playing around and hit full force.  sneezing, coughing, eye-watering, loss of voice, swollen glands, and aches all over: i have a cold.

however, it's an encouraging thought to look back at the past several years and realize that a little cold right now is really not a big deal.  i haven't really been sick in the past several years.  slight fibromyalgia fluctuation, exhaustion, but never the flu, never bad colds.  so.  a little cold can't be that bad, right?

the goal is to not let it put me all the way in bed.

but. we'll see what tomorrow brings.  it's hard to stay in bed when there's sunshine outside waiting to be played in!
