Stages of This Cold

 Stage 1

A tickle in the throat.  "Is this a cold coming on?"

Stage 2

A cough, nothing else, that gets progressively worse.

Stage 3

A severe cough with nasal congestion, runny nose, and sneezes.  A box of tissues needs to be on hand at all times.

Stage 4

Coughing has eased up, but nasal congestion still present plus a pounding headache.

This is the stage I'm in now.  It started on Monday let's hope it soon disappears.

On the bright side, lots of different daffodils are blooming in my yard.  I had to pick some to enjoy them close up.

Sick!

 Somewhere, somehow I caught a cold.  It started Monday afternoon with a tickle in my throat but has gotten progressively worse.  Coughing, sneezing, runny nose - in other words the works!

The most disappointing part of this is the weather is lovely outside but I don't feel like being out in it.

Back to my book or a nap or both.  Currently reading The Women by Kristin Hannah.
