80% better from the cold now. after a while i realized that instead of hot baths, if my head was most of the problem, i could just use hand-warmers on my head. except after i finally got my wife to go to the store to find hand-warmers she didn't buy the "sticky" kind because they "sounded scary" so i had to try taping it to my head, which didn't really work. now i'm chewing on a big chunk of ginger and i reaaally hope i'll be totally fine by this evening so i can do my homework and go to the middle school tomorrow...

at least i'm healthy enough to read in bed and stuff now. all these previous days i couldn't even do that!!
