An Open Letter to my Immune System:

When you're damn well done with a cold, would you PLEASE cease and desist in symptoms post-haste? My head has been feeling 'better' since Tuesday morning. And then I spend this morning wracking up unpleasant gooeys in lab meeting. Most disconcerting. Yes, yes, I appreciate that you've done a bang-up job, and that compared to the rest of my family, you're a paragon of rapid-response surveillance. But for once, just once, would you bloody well do what I ask?

Thank you,
Your Host Body

Indeed, I figure that my morning ration of orange juice has been instrumental in helping kick this sucker along the path. And, yeah, lots, and lots of water. Given how much I'm sounding like a love-struck moose bellowing for company, it's rather necessary.

I've a long and unpleasant history of simple colds turning into soul-sucking sinus infections, and overall I'm feeling pretty good... *crosses fingers* I think I've dodged that particular bullet this time.

My thoughts are with you. Hope you are feeling tip-top again soon!
