My head felt full of cotton wool and I thought I might just tip over to the left, it was so heavy. Uh-oh, here comes a cold. A decongestant and a good spray and the ear cleared fairly rapidly. The cold itself hit like a ton of bricks this morning about five. I'm having my morning cup of tea and reading my book when I come across the word "lassitude". That's it!! That is Exactly how I feel. I knew the word although it is an old one and I haven't heard it used in ordinary conversation in a long time. I had to look it up to give Dean an exact dictionary definition - see above - and the definition fit. That's me this morning. It's good to have word to describe how I'm feeling.
