Friday was a scratchy throat day, kind of under the weather day. So, I rode. It was cold and windy. So, about ten minutes into it, I knew it was a bad idea. But...hard head prevailed. So, I pushed on.
On Saturday, I felt a little better. Put a coat of paint on the walls in a room here at the house and then slept all afternoon. Sunday I finished the painting job, but I began feeling lousy by nightfall. Yesterday, I had a full blown sinus type cold. Woke up feeling better today, but find myself coughing.
I figure by Thursday, I'll be back on the bike.
