Communicable Disease

I have a cold. In July. Thanks, old-lady-at-work-who-caught-it-from-her-granddaughter. It's a pretty good one too, as far as colds go. I have a sinus headache, dizziness, a nose that is alternatively stuffed up or running, ears that are plugged, a voice that sounds like sandpaper, and a cough that is going to have me hacking up a lung soon. I took some medicine, but it doesn't seem to be working. Perhaps I shall try drinking beer; that was pretty effective the past two nights.

I want to stay home from work so badly tomorrow and have a West Wing marathon. I can't because I have a meeting with my boss in the morning, but maybe I can skip out after lunch. Perhaps if I threaten to cough on everybody...
