Taper cold

Posting this for posterity: Yep. I caught a cold during my Beach to Battleship taper.  Probably from one of the students on the weekend field trip. Nothing like 14 total hours in a small van to transmit germs. And it's been pretty harsh. Low grade fever with bad sore throat that has morphed into a stuffy nose, mild sore throat and mild ear ache. But my doctor's receptionist doesn't think I'm sick enough for an office visit because the office is packed with swine flu (H1N1) and normal flu patients.  Bleah.

Hopefully, my immune system will kick it to the curb by the end of the week.
