WHAT A BAD HEAD COLD IS GOOD FOR

I've spent the past two days laying in bed, or while NOT laying in bed, dealing with a constant drippy nose and back-breaking sneezing. I have been sleeping - reading - playing a lot of computer games on my iPhone - and feeling very sorry for myself.

HOWEVER -

- I do NOT have pneumonia (at least as of this evening).
- I DO have access to the internet - how much more boring would this have been 50 years ago?!
- My husband is at my beck and text, and is trying very hard to keep up on all the household chores (he even took out the TRASH this morning!)
- I have both air conditioning and heating, and running water.
- And I have Diet Coke and crackers.

So perhaps it's not as bad as all that.
