Luckily, I don’t have the flu and hopefully I will avoid it entirely since I did get my flu shot at the end of October. I do however, have a rather mean cold, which for the first time in about 5 days seems to be not so bad as before. I am still taking cold medicine and I don’t anticipate the cold will be completely gone until this weekend. I’ve gone through about 3 boxes of tissues without any help. My poor nose. I’m ready for the end.
