Tea time

This cold has been threatening work that I've had scheduled for months... today was perhaps the worst day I've had since its onset well over a week ago. I have to fly to Los Angeles tomorrow, and the added exposure to recycled air has me concerned. I plan on buying masks to wear in order to protect myself and others during the flights.

I have been drinking tea like a madman (coffee is my typical beverage of choice), and I have been downing lozenges and V8 juice like a fiend.
