Lurgy

You know, the only problem with the whole ‘getting healthy’ business is how bitter I can become when it turns out that losing 45 pounds doesn’t make one insusceptible to the common cold.

Which is to say: I have the plague. Lurgy, even. Streaming nose, painful inner ears, and the sore throat from hell.

I’m taking zinc and drinking water like mad, but should any of you have any old family cures lurking about, please feel free to share them.
