I can no longer delude myself that I'm having an allergy attack. I have a cold. There's no denying it. *sigh* How did I manage to come down with a cold in this lovely 80-degree weather? I must be very talented.

grump.

My boss just told me that she had a cold last week and she was worried it would turn into one of those lengthy things but it only lasted two days. I guess that's what I can hope for now. It would sure be nice to breathe through my nose again someday soon. But the sore/scratchy throat is the worst part. I hate not being able to so much as swallow without discomfort. :P

Do you take zinc lozenges when you get a cold? I've done zinc lozenges and nasal spray the last couple times I've had a cold and it makes a huge difference in my ability to cope (and breathe!).

I used to take zinc, but it's been a long time since I had a cold and I can't find any. I should go buy some more.

Meanwhile, I scored a Sudafed off a coworker, so we'll see if that does any good.

Poor Joan!!!

Drink buttloads of water....
...or more appropriately, bladderloads.

For some reason I can't drink water when I'm sick. I need sugar. But I'm certainly drinking bladderloads (hee hee) of juice, tea, and soda.
