I've got a cold. During this holiday period. And lemme tell ya, there's nothing worse. Just when everyone is happy and boisterous and energetically reveling in the holiday all you feel like doing is sleeping. Well, after you move all the happy, boisterous people out of the immediate vicinity.It's holiday hell.
The only good thing about it is that, being in the US, a trip to my corner CVS had just about anything I could want in any combination. Fever+congestion? Got that. Cough + congestion? Got something for that. Fever + runny nose + cough? Got that. Congestion + headache + cough? Got a product for that, too. I stood in front of the dazzling array of products for 10 minutes running down my list of symptoms to find a product tailored just for what I had. I wound up - I kid you not - with cold pills you swallow (not chew) that nevertheless tastes like "berry burst".Ahh the wonders of US consumerism! It's good to be back.
