Remember that truck I was looking for on Friday?
Well, it came back last night and this time it dropped a vat of snot on top of me.
Head cold anyone?
And where does the phrase head cold come from? Sure, my head is stuffed up like a sausage, but I’m far from cold. I’m not even remotely cold. I’m a walking heat pump right now.
Yesterday I felt the beginnings of the nasty head, but I diplomatically tried to ignore it. I medicated myself, drank some water, and took my husband, the boys, and one of Ian’s friends on a walk to the square. We stopped at Volta, a little Greek Cafe, and sat on the deck for lunch.
By the end of lunch, I couldn’t ignore the nasties any longer.
We walked home, I sank into the couch and didn’t move until bed.
And now I’m at work with a Hazard Sign on my forehead. Stay away. Contents may be contagious.
Where is my Hazmat suit?

I saw a new product on tv over the weekend called ColdMD that’s purported to boost your immune system, reduce the cold’s severity and duration. A quick glance at the ingredients show Vit C, zinc, and echineca (sp?). Can’t hurt, might help?

Sorry you’re sick. 😦 I’m a new fan of Airborne — kept me healthy during Atlanta and a few times since then when I felt myself getting sick. Better living through meds I say. :)Feel better soon, Mel.
