In history: In 881, Pope John VIII crowned Charles the Fat, the King of Italy as the Holy Roman Emperor [which as the saying goes, was none of the three]
So I have a cold. I have had this cold all week, but it decided to get worse last night. I think it is a different cold than the one that I had a couple of weeks ago, which was a different one from the one I had before the holidays, but I don’t know. Here lately, it seems that I just about always have some version of the sniffles, a sore throat, an annoying cough and a low grade fever. I have been using boxes of tissues and filling my trashcans with them, but still spend most of my time breathing through my mouth. But I haven’t been sick enough to stay home – seriously, who has the leisure to do that anyway -- so I got up and got to work every day. And of course I have been feeling a bit lousier and more fatigued at the end of every single day as I work through a thickening fog. Last night I finally gave up and broke out the NyQuil.
And I am not the only sufferer when you come right down to it. Co-workers, family members, strangers in the elevators, everyone is sneezing and coughing and sniffling. Thing is, I don’t remember colds being around quite so much in the past. I mean, I remember entire winters when I didn’t get one cold much less this seemingly perpetual state of discomfort. So am I just in a weakened and more susceptible state these days? That seems a bit odd as I have been working really hard to eat healthy. Are there more germs floating around ((in my general vicinity? and am I now a carrier))? Or are the germs just stronger and healthier than we all are?
