Colds are strange

wispfoxIt's really confusing to not know if I'm hungry because all my normal hunger signals are being overridden by my cold.
Normally, if I'm hungry, I start to get a hunger headache. But I already _have_ a headache, from this cold. As well, I'll start having small amounts of digestive liquids in my throat. But my throat is sore, so I can't tell.
My stomach grumbling is the _last_ signal I get, and usually because I'm starving, and not just hungry. So I've decided to just eat breakfast because I should, and not because I know that I'm hungry. Really odd...
It's also really annoying to feel mostly fine (except for a headache) because of all my cold-fighting pills, and then _forget to take more_ because I feel mostly fine. Made for a difficult time waking up this morning.
Stupid colds.
No share tonight for me - don't want to get everyone else sick, and sleep is needed. Ought to be able to do my many plans for tomorrow, though!

The other parts sound decent, though - as long as I remember to do the whole eating and drinking parts as _well_ as sleeping. :)
