Feeling Under The Weather

The weather in my area has been flip-flopping for the last couple of weeks.  Yesterday it was 70 degrees and now it is damn near 30.  So of course, somehow i have managed to pick up a sore throat and a slightly runny nose.  I took some over the counter medicine prior to going to work.  I just took a night time dose upon returning home for the day.  It might not be advisable to chase this cold medicine with vodka but I need something to get this flavor out of my mouth.  I hope whatever is ailing me comes and goes quickly.  I can't afford to be sick.
