I think all the people on my f-list who posted yesterday that you had colds should get off the intartubes because you're contagious - I seem to have caught something. Drainage and a sore throat* for two days running, and exhaustion.
Mind you, I can't tell if the exhaustion is from the cold or from perfectly normal lack of sleep - night before last I woke up at 5 and never really got back to sleep, and this morning I had to get up at 6:15 (and woke up at 5 and didn't really get back to sleep). Work is hosting a conference downtown, so I got volunteered to manage lunch lines yesterday and breakfast lines today. And I ended up yesterday walking over half of downtown back and forth from the bus stop to the hotel in the sun, and this morning I got there before the parking meters were turned on, so had to run down every 15 minutes to check if they were on or not - and between the mugginess of outside and the lack of A/C in the hall where I was working, I was dripping sweat and Not Happy, let me assure you. (And when they turned them on, they didn't turn *mine* on, so I re-parked and fed the meter there.) So, yeah, lack of sleep and physical exertion will make you exhausted whether or not there's a cold involved.
So it's entirely possible that I just have a bad allergy attack and not a cold, but I went ahead and re-scheduled my dentist appointment from tomorrow to next week - I don't think the staff want me there if I'm infectious.
* No need to post your favorite sore throat remedy, as I've got comments on posts from the last 33546 times I mentioned a sore throat and people posted their favorite remedies.
