The family cold strikes again

Earlier today I posted my first post on this blog. Then in my cough suppressant-induced haze I realized I had misspelled strikes as "stikes" (did I mean "spikes"?) and in my haste to correct the title wiped out the post all together. Figures. Well I was trying to convey the point (probably better than I will now) that I had all these great intentions joining this blog. I was going to wax poetic, contribute amazing recipes, debunk patenting myths...until two weeks ago my 2 1/2 year old son gave us all a cold, knocking family members down one by one. And now I am the only one left not standing, still hacking up a lung night after night, day #13 and counting. Ultimately this is not our first or last family cold...but now I am prepared...Tylenol, check. Ibuprofen, check. Decongestant, check. Humidifier, check. Bring it on!
