Sometimes the best laid plans are set asunder by unforeseen circumstances and there’s nothing left to do but buck up and deal with it!

Yesterday, there were some tell-tale sneezes. Last evening, my throat felt “cottony.” And during the night, the congestion started building in my chest and I started aching all over.

Christmas is three days away and it seems that I’ve picked up the bug that has been going around the office for some time. By Friday morning, based on the experiences of my friends, I will have a full blown cold.

But I can’t stop December 25 from coming and I won’t “wait until next year!” Sick or not, I will fulfill my holiday obligations so that we can all enjoy nice meals on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Food has always been my forte, and I always plan on making the feast memorable!

My eyes are watering as I write this, so I know that it’s going to be tough sledding from here on through the weekend.

But I’m determined that Christmas will be merry …even if it kills me!!!

I seem to have some night time ailment. I go to bed and start coughing. When I wake up I'm congested and cough for a while. I have my coffee and I feel fine all day until I lay down again. Weird, but I can live with it. Andreas recipe sounds like just what the doctored order. Get some rest so you can cook up a storm on Christmas.

Hi Richard: Sorry you are not feeling better. My advice - a good dose of vitamin C and some chicken noodle soup!

Well get better soon and don't push yourself to hard and put yourself in the hospital like I did and end up even making it worse.

And now I'm afraid to even leave a comment on your post. I have been avoiding people with the bug as if they are carrying the plague.

Hi Richard... For months now, I have been threatening anyone who sneezes or coughs in the office with a full head-to-toe Lysol spray down. If people are feeling less than well, they need to stay OUT of the office. Good luck and Merry Christmas!

Richard, I concur with the Zycam as a deterrent. I have found that it not only lessens the cold issues in the present, but I think I have had much milder colds since. Take care and get better quick.

Ahhh, no Richard! Ok drink lots and lots of water, try and grab a few extra hours sleep somehow and where's Mom's chicken soup? Think positive Richard and don't listen to the folks who say you will have a full blown cold by Friday....just say no way! Make it a Merry Christmas Richard!

Richard, it's Friday, and I truly hope you do not feel zapped by a nasty cold! And yeah - chicken soup! Not from a can either. Maybe from the local deli if you don't feel like doing it from scratch. I like a few matza balls thrown in, too! Merry Christmas!
