Cough, cough

Back at work after three days off sick, and all I really want to do is crawl back home and collapse on the couch for another four days or so. I have contracted a very stubborn cold – started Saturday with a sore throat and sort of developed from there into flu symptoms (aching joints especially) and then into a “common cold” sort of thing (plenty of action in the snot-producing area and a very tickly throat). Cough.

The doctor gave me a prescription for cough medicine. Unfortunately it tastes vile and does not seem to have any effect (assuming its intended effect was to stop my coughing).

And the weather’s foul, too.
