cold outside, cold inside

so the knots are back. and yes, they're on both sides. and i think the massage actually made them much worse.

got my homemade heating pad (a sock full of white rice heated in the microwave) on the right side. it's not helping. i may need another massage or just a day off...

i'm coming down with a cold. i can feel it in my achy body and itchy throat. everyone i know seems to be sick. my head has hurt all day long. ears are stuffy. i have a feeling tomorrow i might wake up and feel like a bag of dirt.

the weather's not helping. it's freezing here. and i won't be too surprised if i see frost on the ground in the morning. that's how cold it is. windy too.

went to dinner tonight with a friend even though i felt so crappy. she felt crappy too so we enjoyed a nice pasta dinner and chatted. it was very relaxing -- no cooking. no dishes. i wasn't really that hungry so i have a nice dinner for tomorrow night too.

i wish i didn't feel bad. but i've been trying to drink a lot of water and flush whatever's wrong out of my system. it isn't working.
