A second grievance.

I am ill.  I have a headache, low-grade fever, nasty cough and very sore, dry throat, lethargy, and those deep, ongoing muscle and joint aches you get when sick.

I suspect this is a substantially LESS debilitating version of what's been going the rounds of my local friends, but nevertheless, I complain.

On the plus side, 325 words written on my Yuletide assignment!
