Not Surprising
In retrospect, I'm not surprised I got sick Friday evening.
I spent a large part of Tuesday morning kneeling or sitting on cold, wet ground planting a couple of chestnut crabapple saplings. This was a day when the wind blew cold, but without it the hot sun made me sweat. There was no happy medium.
Wednesday I spent a large part of the afternoon getting my flower bed ready. The temperature was much warmer, and by the time I finished (read: gave up from exhaustion) I was spent.
Thursday I had lunch with some friends, bought some groceries, then spent the afternoon and evening making cookies and baking bread.
So, yeah, by Friday I was tired. I thought the sneezing, coughing and nose-eye irritation which started late that afternoon was just allergies - and it's possible some of it was. By early Saturday morning, though, I had some sort of bug.
I'm better today (Sunday). In that I feel fine unless I exert myself. *Exert* in this case including standing.
