Colds

On Saturday afternoon Lily and I both came down with colds. Each day we wake up the cold gets a little worse. Last night was awful for me, and this morning even worse. I haven't had a head cold in a very long time so I am not sure if I am being a baby or if I am dying. It feels like dying. Lily on the other hand is business as usual. I am not entirely sure if she is handling her cold better than I am handling my cold because a) she is tougher or b) she isn't nearly as sick as I am.

I thought about it for awhile and decided that she is probably just less of a complainer than me so I decided to suck it up. I washed the dishes, folded the laundry, swept and mopped. The entire time I did those chores I felt a lot less sick. I then sat down with a cup of coffee and boom, the sickness returned. Seriously my nose would stop running while I am busy and gallons of snot runs out while I sit. What is up with that?

My classes started on Monday, I have a ton of assignments due today, and my brain is barley functioning. I guess I will show vast improvement as the course continues along its path, my professor will be so proud. Because the work I am about to do for today is going to bite, big time. I hope you can't catch a cold via the Internet. Oh, and to my husband and eldest daughter, perhaps if you would do the dishes, after eating the delicious meal I prepared for you, while I went to bed early, you wouldn't be exposed to my germs so much. Ya know!

Head colds and sinus problems get better when you're active because your body releases natural anti-histamines.

Have I mentioned that Aaron also has a biology degree? He's a freaking wealth of information.

Poor thing. Have some chicken soup, or scotch, and feel better soon.

Oh, oh, someone is not feeling well. Go rest dear.

Hate that you have a cold. Jeez, I'd rather have a stomach bug for three days than have a cold for one.

Thanks for all the good wishes I am feeling much better today.
