Tissues and Tea

That's the name of the game for today...

Woke up yesterday morning, fine. Feeling well rested after a good nights sleep in Boston. Drove into work and was fine. Got to work and was fine. Then all of a sudden at like 5ish I started sneezing and getting all stuffed up. I thought it was because Miss Sugar (Rita's boston terrier) was in the office for the day, and that I was just being allergic to the little princess. But when I got home... it didn't stop! In fact my cold kept getting worse. By the time I went to bed my throat was killing and I was totally stuffed up.

I didn't sleep at all.... between the heat (and my lack of fan), the sneezing and my sinus related headache... I just laid in bed watching the hours go by. I finally fell asleep around 5:30ish... only for my alarm to go off at 6am. I snoozed until 6:45, and then finally got my act together. Got to work by 8:30, and am now DOWNING herbal tea with honey in it.

Last night I took my vitamins (2 zinc, 1 vitamin C, 1 echinecia). This morning I took tylenol sinus. Tonight I'll take round 2 of vitamins. And I'll keep consuming fluids.

Hopefully all of this will knock this pesky cold out by tomorrow! A girl can dream, right???
