I woke up this morning with a really nasty cold. I can barely speak because my throat is raw. I was completely fine yesterday. I feel really guilty because I decided to take a shower and read instead of doing my chores this morning because I felt so crappy. This means that someone else had to pick up the slack.

They didn't have any DayQuil so I took some Claritin and I feel a bit better congestion-wise but my throat is killing me. It is today, more than ever, that I wish I had my mom here.

Watching people visit with their families is really making me miss mine even more.
