My Annual Fall Cold

For as long as I can remember,  I have managed to catch a cold sometime

during the last week of September.  I don't know why.  It isn't the cold 

and or flu season, but for me it seems to be.  It's as though the calendar 

dictates my health.  The weather has not changed here.  It's still hot and

humid, but here I am feeling achy and tired and wanting to stay in bed.

I had the the tell tale signs of this cold yesterday.  It started with a 

back ache.  Nothing severe, just annoying.

Then this morning the back ache went away and the headache and 

scratchy throat started.  This is very disappointing.  There are lots of

other things I want to be doing other than being curled up with a 

quilt and a cup of tea.  

I wonder if I went down to Australia at this time of the year if I 

would still get sick?  It's spring there.  Maybe I could trick my 

internal calendar ;-)
