I seem to have caught the bug Jeff had last week, just as I started feeling cocky. I've been taking it easy for the past couple of days, but that doesn't seem to have helped very much, because I woke up this morning with a sore throat that's much worse than yesterday. I didn't really feel like eating grapefruit, but I slurped it down anyway, because I knew the vitamin C would do me good. At first the stinging on my throat felt kind of good, but man, it got harsh about halfway through. Jeff pointed out that as terrible as it was on my inflamed throat, it was even worse on whatever was making it sore. And sure enough, a couple of hours later, it does feel better. I wonder if this is why citrus fruits ripen in the wintertime?
