Colds suck

Ok - So I've been here the whole week - stuck in my apartment - sick with a nasty evil cold. Why on God's green earth do we need to have colds? I've had at least 50 of them - by now - in my lifetime. How is this supposed to help us? I got the message about how I'm not supposed to take my health for granted a long time ago.
Thing is, I hate being sidelined. I have so much to do, all the time. Don't we all? I'd rather be doing these things instead of blowing into an entire box of kleenex for a week. Meow!
