Under the Influence

Well, I've spent the Christmas holiday under the influence of numerous OTC medications in an apparently futile attempt to hold off this cold. Although I was glad not to have awakened Christmas morning with a sore throat, I was pretty unhappy about the steadily rising fever. Looks like this will cost me a good week's worth of training, but I can at least take some comfort in the fact that the weather has been about as miserable as I. Today was six hours at my mother's house breathing cigarette smoke and feeling lousy with no sign of improvement and hardly any appetite. I did manage to force down a couple of slices of lemon merangue pie and a glass of wine, though.
