« Resolution Update: February | Main | Recipe: Vegetable Hot Pot »
I am starting to come down with a cold, I can feel it. My throat is drippy and sore. I have a headache. My ears were feeling a little pressurized and funny yesterday. And I'm dreading what's sure to come in the next few days.
Yes, it's only a cold. It's not like when I had the flu last year. But I can get pretty miserable when I have a cold, especially if it becomes a chest cold because it can hang around for weeks and I get super tired and lazy from the lack of oxygen. This comes at a terrible time, when every weekend in March is jam-packed with activities, I've got a birthday coming up that I want to be able to celebrate with full force, and I really, really need to pick up the motivation to work out after a not-so-hot February.
So! This is where you can help me out... do you have any sure fire ways to stop a cold before it really hits? I've got some Halls zinc throat drops and I'm planning on drinking lots of tea to ease my sore throat, but I want to kick this cold before it has a chance to settle in and take over my body. I want to show this cold who's boss.
SAD! Mark is still sick (has been since early last week), and I am feeling just a little under the weather myself. I agree with Kate - lots of vitamin C and most importantly, SLEEP! I promise you, a couple of nights of good, solid sleep, and you'll be feeling much better.

Sorry to hear you're not feeling so hot! I don't have anything sure fire, but loading up on Vitamin C pills and getting a lot of sleep (like, going to bed at 7:30 or 8 p.m.) always seem to help me out.
