Cats get it

Felines understand the power of the nap. And so this evening, I am following their lead. I have parked myself on the sofa and have no intention of leaving it. I believe the best way to battle this cold is to give myself quiet, still time to recuperate … and I'm taking it. In case I need a role model, my big old tomcat, Joey, is stretched out right here beside me.

They do the Lord's work

The good people at Vicks, I mean. For I believe that only Dayquil is keeping me going right now. My throat is scratchy. I'm woozy. I'm tired. When I cough, I discover thick, yellow mucous on the tissue. I know it's just a cold, but you know how hideously annoying and inconvenient colds can be. As a matter of fact, for your own safety, I suggest you wash your hands vigorously after reading the post.
