I was so sure my cold would be gone by now. I've had it since Sunday. Well, the symptoms were starting to sneak up Saturday. If I were a defending fort, you could say my watchmen saw the symptoms sneaking up Saturday night, but were unable to prepare for the assault quickly enough. The enemy sent in the Sore Throat Infantry first, and they did their work well for the first couple of days before the Congestion Musketmen came in to reinforce them. Of course, the commander was the Headache Officer, and he led the charge. Two days ago, they began launching Sneeze Grenades and sending in units armed with Coughing Machine Guns. Last night, it felt like my forces were finally starting to get their defenses together and fight back, but apparently a good night's sleep had the opposite intended effect, since when I woke up today, I felt worse than I did when I went to bed.
I tried to enlist the aid of Sudafed, but those forces appeared to be virtually useless, so after the second wave of Sudafed troops got wiped out with little effect, I didn't take any more.
I'm told these sieges usually last seven days, so with any luck, tomorrow they'll send in the last of their troops to be gunned down, and then they'll leave and won't come back.
UPDATE: Now it's Saturday and it's sad to say that the Coughing Machine Guns have been joined by troops wielding Phlegm-16s. :(

They stay longer if you are sad. You need some terrific guy to come and cheer you up and send away the evil forces.
I guess the white flag has turned green? or brown?
Just be glad the Logistics group didn't start running off. When the supply chain moves at double-time (either advancing to the rear, or retreating back the way the supplies came in), well, the tide of battle can quickly turn against you. I hope the quartermaster corps has stocked up on supplies, especially tissue paper. I hope the treaty is signed soon and you get well quickly. Your daddy loves you.
Over a month? Two? I guess the new interface has got you flummoxed, too, eh? Can't figure out how to post, either, eh? Don't feel bad. Took me a long time to figure out the new layout, too.
Talked to your Mom today and church and told her I missed reading your blog. Told me to write on here. Hope you are feeling better. Just wanted to say I love reading your posts. You have such a way with words. I wish I did. Miss seeing your updates. Nicole
