Fighting off a virus of some kind, mainly by sleeping the day away. It comes with a cough and some sinus trouble. I expect I got it from Mr. B. He has coughed for a week or more, often in my face. Like other things he can’t always remember, he can’t always remember to cover his mouth. He and his chums are little Typhoid Martins, carrying the germs of their hundreds of peers from school and the playground. Their immune systems could fight off the plague. Mine can’t vanquish the common cold.
