I too am the picture of seasonal cheer. I had a cold - make that two - before Christmas, which had resolved into just an irritating cough in time to visit my sons in-laws on The day and Boxing Day, the day after Boxing Day ( which really ought to have a name of its own) I came down with the mother & father of a disease, which I'm now convinced was flu.
I can fall asleep without any provocation, but will wake in a coughing fit, drenched in perspiration (we don't sweat here, dontchaknow). My head is filled with snot, and now my ears are starting to itch.
Anyone want it?
Didn't think so.
