Warm apple cider

I find myself on the verge of a crummy cold. J has been fighting something for about a week and I think I got it. I haven't taken time to look up what I can and can't take for it but in the mean time, I've decided a warm beverage and an early retirement will be my treatment tonight. While I was at the grocery store tonight, I bought a gallon of apple cider and I'm looking forward to heating it up and letting warm me from the inside out.

I'm questioning why I never get sick during a week that I don't have much going on, when my body could rest and I could feel somewhat reasonable about taking a sick day. With a big event scheduled for Friday, I just don't think I can afford to be out but my body may not give me a choice.
