Guh. This cold isn’t just persisting, it’s picking up speed. I’m completely stuffed up, I have a wicked sinus headache, my throat is killing me, I have the cold sweats and I’m exhausted all the time. And yet, it’s my wife who’s still in bed. The girl likes her sleep.

I want to get out and do some things today, but I don’t know how much energy I can muster. And I can’t go three minutes without needing a kleenex.
