I've been feeling the early onset symptoms of a cold. Nothing too drastic. It looks like, if anything, it would be a minor upper-respiratory infection. A tingle in my ear. A tickling tightness in my throat.

I've been taking this preventative medication which allegedly will shorten the duration of the problem and reduce the symptoms. It's called Zycam or something like that. My grandparents keep referring to it accidentally as Zyklon. You know, like what the Germans used in WWII. I laugh every time my grandma says "Did you take your Zyklon?"

Just sharing.
