I have to admit, that I have a low grade, but nonetheless annoying summer cold.  Nose not stuffy just yet, but some back throat soreness and post-nasal nonsense.  I hate being sick in general, but I think and always have, that summer colds are the worst.  Being from up north, if you get a cold in the winter, at least you have some brisk cold air to open up those sinuses for a least a moment.  While that occurs here…the winters sometimes aren’t as cold, and the summers are more oppressive.  I’m hoping that this cold only stays low grade…however it is draining the life out of me.  I’ve been trying to restart my workout routine only to have this creep up and I cannot afford to be out sick from work right now.  I think the immune system is tanking because of my current work schedule.  I work from 8:30 AM – 9:00 PM on Mondays (starting next week), 8:30 AM – 8:30 PM on Tuesdays, now 8:30 AM – 8:30 PM on Wednesdays.  Plus, I’m going to start helping teach PATH classes on Saturdays for 6 weeks starting this Saturday in Johnson City (90 minutes away).  If I somehow manage to miss pneumonia I’ll be happy!
