Under the weather

I think I am coming down with a summer cold. You know that itchy, ashy-tasting feeling you get in the back of the throat that signals something is wrong? Well, it showed up last night and 1000 mg of vitamin C before bedtime didn't help. I slept poorly -- couldn't quite cough, clearing the throat (ahem ahem) didn't help, and yet that scratchy feeling kept waking me up. (Not to mention night sweats from the Megace. That is a side effect that wakes me EVERY night.)

We've had a cold start to summer, 60-some degrees after a month of a very warm late spring with lots of sun and no rain. Maybe that's the culprit. At any rate, I think I will settle in with some tea with honey and lemon, more vitamin C, and hope for a quick conclusion to this thing.
