James Taylor - Sweet Baby James (Live: BBC - 1970)

A Cold, Really?

I have just emerged from being laid up for 7 days.  What could possibly keep one down for 7 days, you might ask.  Pneumonia? The Flu? Bronchitis? Nope.  Just a cold.  Seriously.  An every day, run-o-the-mill cold virus.  Except it wasn't.  But it really does sound pathetic when you are off work for a week with nothing more to say for it than, "I had a cold". 
So today I begin the process of digging myself out.  Not from snow, although we did have some of that on the ground yesterday (Seriously.  This winter just will. not. end.).  Today I begin to give some thought to the week's worth of work I now have to re-schedule (dread does not even begin to cover how I feel about listening to my voicemail) and to the week's worth of cleaning that my **thoughtful** family left for me (clearly they are not well-trained and more work is required to boost their independent cleaning skills). 

Perhaps a little music will help....(see if I can remember how to post a link)
