October 12, 2010 by Life in the Boomer Lane
I have a cold/virus/bacterial infection/whatever. No biggie. It’s not like I’m sick a lot. The last illness was about five lbs ago. I went to the doctor after whatever I had was building up for about five days. This consisted of: Be fine during the day and throughout the night. Wake up feeling like a […]
