It happens to all of us: the first cold of the season. When the weather turns, you know it won't be long before your nose is running, and you rely on cough drops and hot tea to keep you going. If it hasn't happened to you yet, beware - it's coming. For those of you who are currently sick, here's one to bring a smile to your face! Can't everyone relate to these stages of getting sick?

1. I feel totally healthy! Nothing could ruin how I feel right now.
