Sorry to keep writing about being sick, but it has occupied me all week, with timeouts for 'I'm feeling better now' and 'the show must go on' bullshit.

Every time I've taken a break from taking a break, it weakened me. 

Today, I woke without a fever, but with a little runny nose, and a once-in-a-while non-productive cough. Not too bad, so I went to work.

I used, literally, a box-and-a-half of tissues during my work day. I wasn't in pain, but my nose was running like a marathon champ. Steady, fast.

I worked through lunch time because at lunch time there was some fairly vicious looking sleet coming down, and had lunch when I left work (early), first stopping to pick up more tissue for home (I'd run out of my only box in the morning).

This purchase, I maintain, cured my runny nose. This compliance, this submission, this surrender turned the tide.

I got home, opened one of the three boxes I'd bought - and never used a single tissue.

I don't believe in luck, I'm not superstitious, but I'm knocking on wood, thinking I am on the mend now.
