    Oh Noooooo! I just got over a coughing/hacking/too tired to do anything cold. I was sick for almost 3 weeks. DH came home tonight with achy head and chills. If you have the basic head cold, my friend got over it in about 1 week - get lots of rest and hope for the best! With any luck it will rain tomorrow - Cali needs H2O, the humidity will be better for your cold and you wouldn't be riding in it anyway! Get better soon! Tokie

    There is nothing worse than a rotten cold. It is so frustrating at this time of the year not being well, I am getting over a sore throat, although it only lasted a couple of days, it just put a complete damper on my motivation and new regime for riding my bike.

    Hopefully by now, everybody is getting much better.

    Me too. Have had a cold/flu since Jan. 8. I think it is a virus that interfered with my immune system because my arthritis (wrist, hip and toe) got really bad. I have lost my voice completely since last Friday (although nobody around me is complaining about that!!). I have even tried every home remedy there is, including Oil of Oregano - nasty stuff!! And Yes, like Brandi said, the weather is so great!! What a waste of good riding. Oh well, as they say, "all things are passing".

    Hope you all are getting better too. I am still not up to par yet. Arrgh!

    Clock- I love your avitar. Your frog and orange are great!

    I hope this cold does not last forever. I think I am on week two. You would think that after ten days the thing would go away. I would love to go out and ride but that will not happen until everything is better. Clock, I was like you. I had just started to get myself back together after the holidays and getting some exercise when this hit. There went my exercise. I just am watching what I eat so I do not gain it all back.

    Awh I feel for you. It's been gorgeous here and I've had to work both jobs just about every day. I drove to work yesterday then left my truck and rode home. This morning was Winter Bike to Work day (50 degrees in Boulder by 7AM) rode back this morning. I like this system. Gonna ride in with a friend tomorrow and take Candy girl home for the weekend. Were it not for commuting I'd be getting nothing in. And I still need to find time for the Pony. Ugh.

    Well, I tought I was safe. I had a little cold at the end of December so I figured Ya no more colds for me. Well that was a big fat NO. I came down with a cold last weekend and it has totally kicked me in the butt. Talk about sleep that is all I have energy for. Today was so nice, sunny with temps in the 50 Oh well, I am sure there will be plenty more nice days ahead.

    Solo- sorry to hear your under the weather. Not fun! Sleep lots and do all of those good things for your body so you will be healthy again soon. Perhaps sit by a window in the sunshine and take a nap.
