UnSeasonal Affected Disorder

I live in what is nominally a winter rainfall area.  It is actually rather arid with only 200mm on average per year.   Here in the southern hemisphere it is November and spring has developed fully blown summer.  And today it is raining.  I am therefore forced to conclude that it is not summer, but winter.  To make it a truly winter experience, I am nearly drowning (1) in my own post-nasal drip (2)

In order to postpone any travels to the far bank of the Styx, I am self medicating.  Med lemon and whisky forms the base of my hot toddy.  I generally believe that vitamins help in the fight against colds therefore I follow the old maxim “Take two before going to bed and see me in the morning.”  On two pizzas there should be enough vitamins to combat the common cold.  If the treatment is unsuccessful, repeat.  Past history (3) show that it works

(1)    As a man I have only two options: healthy or dying.  Ill is not an option
(2)    It would be even more tragic if I was drowning in somebody else’s
(3)    What do you think is future history?  Today?
