Aaachoooo!

It sucks to get sick.

Your throat gets all scratchy and sore. Your voice changes. You cough up yellow-greenish sputum (ew, was that too much unnecessary detail?). You feel feverish but your body temperature is normal. You feel like going to sleep but you can't. In short, when have a cold, you feel like crap. By tomorrow, I'll probably have both a cold and cough by the looks of it. Oh, joy.

Who would have thought that a virus, which is virtually a nonliving thing outside the human body, could do so much damage?

Since the common cold is self-limiting (it being a virus and all), there's nothing left to do but wait, drink lots of water and juice, and entertain myself with TV and internet. It's not so bad, when you think about it. I just feel like crap, that's all.

Stupid cold. *mutters a few more incoherent profanities while sipping juice*
