I got on my bike to head out for an appointment this morning and faced the same perfect conditions we’ve had all week: sunny skies, temps still in the 70s, that perfect light. Oh, it is perfect weather for bike riding. But as I pedaled I realized that it’s true: I have a cold. Nothing serious, but that kind of cold where the back of your throat feels gummy and your ears are itching and your head is heavy and you are just plain tired. Nope, no long ride in this perfect weather for me–I rode home, made a few detours for errands, and then stayed in to rest. Because I checked the weather report–nothing but suns for the next ten days. I need my energy, because I’m going to need to ride that weather, like I wanted to today. Get out there, people. This won’t last.

Ditto! I’m loving the great weather, but I feel a cold coming on. I’m in bed now, trying to save it.

I read, today, in the NYT, that gargling with salt water (1tsp in a glass), 3 times a day, reduces cold symptoms in 40% of the population. Easy, cheap and effective.
So I’ve heard. Things are getting productive today, so I’m most definitely on the mend!
