Well, darn it, I have a BAD cold. 
I could feel it coming on yesterday evening; but I hoped I'd fight it off since I've been on Vitamin C for over a week now. Not so! My daughter got the cold Monday; I've been fighting it since then. But it hit me so hard last night that I got virtually NO sleep. And all day today, I've been miserable. My throat hurts so bad, I can hardly talk; and it's so swollen that it's hard to breathe. And my nose is swollen and burning. And I've got a killer migraine. When my husband got home from work, he watched the kids while I got a few hours of sleep in bed. SOOO, unfortunately, I'm skipping all my pills for a couple days. Except for the Motrin I'm taking for my headache and throat. My daughter felt substantially better in only 24 hours (just mostly a really stuffy nose now for her); so maybe I'll be able to resume my mass of pills tomorrow or the next day. I'm still taking my protein drink, and Noogling/heat pad at night though. So far, my son and my husband are fine; I hope they squeak by without getting it! It's a doozy. I HATE this, cuz I was having really good pains and new fullness the past few days; now it's gonna stop. Oh well. I hope the rest of you manage to stay healthy!!!
