8 out of 9

• Rest, Rest, Rest CHECK
  
• Eating lots of garlic and turmeric (anti viral/bacterial, anti inflammatory) and getting in some protein despite the lack of appetite CHECK
• Echinacea and extra vitamin C on top of my regular vitamins CHECK
• Drinking lots of water and decaf teas CHECK
• Watering the wilty flowers and sitting outside in the fresh air for a spell (hope the neighbors do not mind my unkempt appearance) CHECK
• Taking some time to do some reading
  
• Watch some really bad television CHECK

Eight out of nine ain't bad! It seems to have done the trick.
Off to work I go!
