How NOT to spend your weekend

Having to wake up on a Phyne (attrib. Zack) Saturday morning & finding out that you have a colossal headache, your joints are aching all over, your throat has a burning, coarse, lump of coal stuck in there and you're fighting the urge to spontaneously heave.

I'm all much better now, thanks to a day off and a barrage of meds, which ironicly will cure me but over the course of the years will just null the effectiveness of the medicine because of the evolution of the virus's resistance to the drugs. Only thing that's still not fully cured is the cough. Yes, I've entered cough season.
