That always sucks... I know exactly what you mean - that's what happens to me too. The only thing that works for me is getting as much rest as possible - although I realize that with your schedule that may not be possible. I hope you feel better soon!
Well I called off for tonights shift..They have 2 hrs to find a replacement..I think ALL the extra hours I have been working in these subzero temps is finally catching up to me..I feel like I'm burning up although the wife says I don't have a temp..So I'm gonna stay in..
I think that's wise - what good is overtime money if you spend it all on medication and doctor's visits?
Too true...So here I sit in my robe drinking one of those flavored waters and chewing Vitamin C...

Drac, quick suggestion from somebody who has spent WAY too many hours out in the bitter cold. When you come in, before you jump in that hot shower to warm up a bit; toss a big ol' blanket or quilt in the dryer. When you pop out of the nice warm shower, grab that sucker and wrap up in it for a bit. It will melt the chills right out, quicker than anything else I have found.
Hope you get feeling better quick.

Well, the Gordon household had a fun day today. Woke up to a fresh 10" of snow this morning and the boys siezed-the-day big time. Siezed it, then throttled every last bit of enjoyment out of fresh snow as only kids can do. I meanwhile was lamenting the fact I had to break out the frigging snow-blower yet again. Sun came out and it climbed up to 40 above in the afternoon. 
First day it has been over freezing in almost 2 full months. Spring is around the corner. Another 4 or 5 weeks and all this blasted white stuff will be a memory!

The wife had the same suggestion...I will try that next time...Also I guarantee one of the idiots in my full time department came to work sick insted of staying home in order to save their sick time for the Summer when those unexpected BBQ's come up..
They will carry those care free memories of Winter fun do as long as they live..I remember doing that too...

Oh I know, I loved the fresh snow as well when I was a kid. Ah who am I kidding, I loved new snowfall until I got a big driveway I had to keep clear. When I used to ski 100+ days a year I couldn't wait for fresh stuff to claim "first tracks" down the slopes. Now the only frist tracks I get are a run down to the gas station first thing in the morning because I was an idiot and didn't keep the snow-blower gas can full.
You ain't alone brother...
Enjoy...
Hey Drac! Get as much vitamin C as you can and get better soon.
Hearing of your cold I just had a nice glass of oarnge juice. The last thing I need up here in Alma is another cold. We have had our fair share this year.
Haven't had an offical cold..The virus I had a couple of weeks ago only lasted 48 hrs and that didn't have the coughing, sneezing etc...etc..So hopefully I can "cook" this one out...
