I’m obsessed enough that I went back to the gym today even though I wasn’t feeling completely well. My head hurt, I had a hard time bending over to change into my gym clothes, and I was really tired. Recounting, my forearms hurt, my upper back hurt, and my lower back hurt. Oddly enough, the worst part, my lower back, felt pretty good and the biggest problem was with my upper back, the area between my shoulder blades that always seems to hurt because I sit at my nerd job at my nerd desk typing on my nerd computer all day long.

The other odd thing about this cold is that it keeps me from sleeping well. Other people I talked to who are sick say they’re having the same sort of sleep issues as well, and the fastest way I know of feeling better is to sleep a lot. Funny how that all works out.
