I call for action

I have gone into a state of DEFCON 1 against my cold. This refers to maximum readiness i.e. hitting the cold with warm honey, lime and chewing on fresh ginger. This has never (verifiably) been used by me but is reserved for imminent or ongoing attack on my plans or my usual behavior. Launch of nuclear missiles (strong pharmaceuticals) has been authorized.
And I will stay the course unlike Bush junior.
