As a capper to the awesome weekend we’ve had, today I started feeling really sickly around 10 this morning. Well, I mean, I knew I didn’t feel that great when I got up, but I attributed that to it being 6 o’clock on a Sunday morning and not being all that happy about heading out to drag myself around the neighbourhood. But at around 10, maybe a bit later, I started feeling headachy and body achy. My nose started filling up. My throat was scratchy.

This can be attributed to one of two things: allergies (we all know that I’m allergic to EVERYTHING, and Spring seems to be the time that EVERYTHING tries to fly up my nose) or a cold virus.

It’s kind of sad that I was actually hoping against hope that it was allergies. Allergies, I can take some measures against (hello Claritin and Benadryl!). But colds? I can’t do anything for a cold. Ironically (oh man, again – I don’t know if I’m using ‘irony’ correctly. Alanis has confused me forever), I’m allergic to cold medication.

So, I took a couple of allergy pills, and some Advil for the headache, and napped. And woke up feeling cruddy. Which indicates a cold. Which sucks the bone. THE BONE I SAY! I feel like I’ve been sick enough this year! And that I’ve complained enough about my health lately! So tonight, I am going to eat the delicious stew that Rob made, and watch Northern Exposure until this infernal season is over (I hate it! I HATE IT!), and NOT grumble at all about anything. Because I always look on the bright side of life.

Ahem.
