...can a nasty summer cold last? After nursing hubby through coughing and splutterings and lavishing him with care and attention, he rewarded me by giving me his cold!  That'st one gift I could have done without - but does it really have to last the whole week?  A couple of days and, ok, I'll take my turn, but by day five I'm really tired of the whole thing. Tired of the sore nose, the congestions, the sore joints, the headache, the sore throat, the cough, just everything.  There's so much I want to be getting on with but every time I try I either loose my balance or run into a wall of tiredness.  It's so frustrating.

Please, can someone get around to inventing a cure for the common cold? Pretty please...

On the upside, I am thoroughly enjoying having an excuse to curl up on the sofa with a good book in the middle of the afternoon...My Sister's Keeper this week.
