I have a cold

[dreamshark]

So far it's all from the neck up - didn't even start with a sore throat like my colds usually do.  Yesterday was awful with all the honking and sniffling and sneezing and snorting, but other than that I don't exactly feel SICK (unlike Richard, who has been sleeping almost non-stop for the last 5 days with his version of this thing). I am, as always, highly annoyed to be sick, but as long as it doesn't move down into my chest I will have forgotten about it in a couple of weeks. Which is the main reason I'm making a note of it here - because I usually don't remember being sick unless it turns into something either dramatic or lingering. And for some reason I think I ought to be able to remember how many colds I actually get. About two a year, I think, but usually they are pretty mild.
