How can we get a cold in the summer? 90 degrees isn't warm enough to prevent it? I know the logistics, heat doesn't cure a cold, and yet there is something odd about getting a cold in the midst of July. It may be worse in the summer. The shivers matched with heat waves, from either the illness or a faulty AC unit. I don't want to miss the beach, but the thought of wearing anything less than my sweatsuit is nauseating. How can we get a cold in the summer? The sun is filled with vitamin D, the vitamin of illness prevention. Why am I buying tissues and cough drops, and not margaritas and shrimp. I can't even eat shrimp, I'm allergic. Although, that may be better than a cold in the midst of July.

A Cold in the Summer.

I have never had a summer cold before, and it is the worst. Morally and physically.
