I thought I was doing so good with my hand-washing… trying to get plenty of sleep and avoid people who are sick.. but as it happens every year.. it seems no matter what I get a cold… now the symptoms have varying degrees for me and so far they aren’t too bad..
We all have that common first sign that it is about to land right on your front porch and barge in the front door… ransack your house… for about a week and then leave as quickly and quietly as it arrived…
Some people get a headache with some congestion.. for me.. day one the warning.. always begins with a little bit of a scratchy throat… and then day two is usually when the congestion sets in and it feels like the back of my eye balls are are fire.. I know that probably sounds weird.. but no matter how much water I drink.. I feel like my eyes are dried out…
And of course waking up in the morning is the worst for me.. I must sleep all night long with my mouth wide open… breathing in and drying out the back of my throat so much that I could sand paint with it… and then throw in some sleepy moments and that pretty much wraps up my experience with the cold virus…
I have been using the power of zinc to try to beat it back.. and so far I feel like I am actually winning… I just laughed inside thinking about Charlie Sheen… I will never be able to say or write the word winning the same way again… lol…
Are there any cold remedies you use to make yourself feel better? I gargle with salt water for a sore throat… and I am about to make some mango green tea… any ideas you have are welcomed.. you can post them to this blog (I get notifications) or to my facebook wall.
Hoping for a weekend that is filled with some fun and relaxation.
