The Cold

As in, I have one.

Despite the fact that it’s a tropical country, I still occasionally find myself coming down with the ol’ sore throat and sniffles and this is one of those times. The Wife blames it on the cigarettes. In an act of mercy, she allowed me to buy a “Christmas pack” to smoke, and I went a little overboard on the frequency. She figures I clobbered my immune system by doing that or something.

All I know is I have that tired, run-down feeling. It’s good thing I’m a writer and not a construction worker, or this would lay me out. As it is, I’m still able to at least work on the script I have pending, I just do it with a handy box of tissue paper near by to deal with the constantly runny nose.

At least I won’t have any trouble going to bed because of the tiredness…
