Could Things Be Worse?

I am having a crappy day.  The government, my employer, is on the verge of shutting down as we're about to leave for South Dakota to visit various possibly closed National Parks and to top it all off, I'm getting a cold.

I was supposed to run the second Crystal City Fridays 5K today, but it was cold and rainy here and I was not feeling it.  I'm tired, achey, and snotty.  Fun times.

Of course, things could always be worse, but I am in the mood to whine.

UPDATE: A deal was struck and the Government is open! My cold is bearable, so things are looking up. Here we come SD!
