Now is not the time ...

Now is not the time to get a cold, but I'm afraid it's here.  I've been sniffling, sneezing, and wheezing for about 24 hours now.  As much as I would like to blame it on the crummy weather we've been having, I'm afraid there is no excuse.  I'm also just feeling sort of generally crummy.  Hopefully, I can get rid of whatever this is sooner than later.  Flying while sick is really no fun at all, and if this cold does what it normally does and migrates into my sinuses, I will almost certainly be dealing with ear pressure and general face pressure early next week, which is REALLY lame for flying.  

Procuring things like vitamin C and zinc here is a really pain in the butt, so I'm going to try to tough it out for a day or two, buy a ton of orange juice, and sleep as much as I can.  Or at least more than I have been.  Even though my friends have been out of town this week, I've not managed to get into bed before midnight or to fall asleep before one this week.  When I typically wake up at 7 am, I am definitely dragging, especially since last night was FREEZING so I had to get up to get a sweatshirt and socks at around 2:30 ... but then that was overkill so I woke up really warm at about 5:30.  At least no mosquitos attacked last night (which they did on Monday and Tuesday of this week).  

Anyhow, fingers crossed that this crumminess is just weather related and I am totally recovered so I can enjoy being in the US!
