The Tyranny of Colds!

Does anyone else find that the minute you run out of the few anti-cold things you had around the house, and are forced to go and splurge on anti-cold drugs, your cold immediately gets better? =S Or at least, comparatively better... I find that always seems to be the case. It's like colds are involved in a plot to make me waste my money on unneeded medication! Or something... *looks shifty*

And now I'm hoping I haven't just jinxed it! *knocks wood* Speaking of which, does anyone else know the song "The Impression That I Get" by The Mighty Mighty Bosstones? It's good fun - very bouncy and upbeat! =D Here's a sample of the lyrics:

Have you ever been close to tragedy
Or been close to folks who have?
Have you ever felt a pain so powerful
So heavy you collapse?

No? Well...
I never had to knock on wood
But I know someone who has
Which makes me wonder if I could
It makes me wonder if
I never had to knock on wood
And I'm glad I haven't yet
Because I'm sure it isn't good
That's the impression that I get.

And, just because I felt like sharing! =P
The worst incident with my cold was a couple of days ago. I had a mouthful of my cup of tea, only to have the immediate urge to cough. I managed to suppress the cough, only to dive for the tissues because the "suppressed" cough instead decided to make the tea come out my nose! =S Not fun! The only good point was that the tea wasn't very warm...
I'm sure that was too much information, but there you go. =)
