My head feels like a rock

If you have forgotten what it's like to have a cold, here's a friendly reminder:

You first wake up with a burning sore throat.

But you're too tired and brainless at that time of the day to make good judgments...

..so you power through your morning routine just like any other day because your late because you spent that extra few minutes on the toilet thinking why you're feeling like you haven't slept.

Your nose then starts to run and won't stop all throughout your commute on the metro, as you get disapproving looks from the people around you for not wearing a biohazard suit.

For the rest of the day your body feels defeated and you sort of wish you had called in sick but you also think that would've been a bad idea 'cause you have so much work that needs to be done today.

Then you pop into the supermarket and, even though you know that chocolate and junk food gives you phlegm and know you shouldn't eat it you buy all that junk food anyway 'cause you think you deserve a treat for :
A) being sick, and
B) going to work while you're sick

The next day you roll into your office, your head is throbbing 'cause your nose is blocked and you've left your nose spray and lip balm at home and the dry lips make you feel worse.

Your manager gives you a ton of work and you're running around like a headless chicken with that blistering headache trying to get everything done before dinner.

You don't have much appetite for lunch but at 5pm you're starving and you're now addicted to the nose spray you bought during your lunch break.

At the end of the day you're in bed and you're really tired but the germs have messed up your brain and you're blogging about what it's like to have a cold.
