Cold

I certainly have not been in need of a sleep aid lately. Nope. I have contracted my first cold of the season. It is currently kicking my hiney! My colds have taken on a predictable pattern in the last several years. First, I start with insane sneezing. I never used to sneeze very often at all. Now, I sneeze like crazy with a cold. Soon, my nose gets stuffy and my ears plug up. Then it moves down into my chest with congestion and coughing. I get a dry throat and extreme fatigue. I am at the chest, dry throat, fatigue stage now. All I want to do is sleep! At some point today, I will give in to that desire. I know in the end I will get over this thing faster if I sleep.
