Non-News: There's No News In Having a Head Cold

Dateline:Â Royal Oak, Michigan

Having dodged the ICE STORM bullet, this non-correspondent assumed that she had averted all of the hazards of winter.

Not so.

Non-News reports that this non-correspondent has been felled by a head cold of epic proportions.

First of all, takeÂ this image and imagine it with some nasal congestion oozing forth.

Then, fix in your head the array of over the counter medications which have been purchased from the local CVS in the last twenty-four hours, none of which has made a dent in symptoms.

If you listen to an excerpt of poetry given byÂ the hand , you will notice that speech is now being affected.

Rather than overdose on DayQuil, NyQuil, aspirin and muscle relaxers (another story altogether), this non-correspondent will likely go home and prepare a hot toddy which contains NONE of those ingredients, but something which will do the job quite nicely.

I spent the last three weeks thinking a sinus infection would go away soon. Also, I now have to present more ID to buy Advil Cold & Sinus than I do to pick up a prescription for Demerol. It all added up to a Miserable Cold Experience. I hope yours turns out better.
