I have developed a cold!!

This is the first one I have had in years!  And I sure am not liking it at all!!  It started with just a dry cough and has settled into my sinuses and chest.  I am taking OTC meds for it, but .......   If it gets any worse I may look into buying some Zicam as so many of you have mentioned using.


Ah well, the sun is shining and the temp has climbed above the 50º mark. I am so hoping that this a true harbinger of srping.  One of the gals at TOPS this morning said she has been seeing robins, so that is encouraging too!


I'm gonna walk out to my mail box now and soak up some of that sunshine!

That makes 2 of us - I have the exact symptoms. This is the same kind of bug I picked up mid Dec and it lasted for over 2 weeks. Like you, I hadn't had a cold in years. But, early this AM, my masseuse called to cancel my appt. today because she has the bug. This tells me where I got the bug - I stopped in their office Fri. afternoon. By Sat I was coming down with it. They must have had a client who spread germs everywhere. This one better not last that long - I want to get out and enjoy the warmer weather. We're expecting rain for the next 3 days, so this will make it easier to stay inside. I have managed to balance the checkbook and finish my part of the taxes. Also finally got all the birthdays for the Grands on the calendar. Yep, I'm a little late. Can't remember where Jan & Feb went, but I sure didn't get much done. Except quilting :(

KT I hope it's just cold. Don't let it go on too long before seeing the doctor.

Sorry you're feeling crummy Katie. I've been able to miss most of the yucks that have gone around this winter except for the bad infection I got just after Mama Blu passed. They're dropping like flies in the office though. I'm using antibacterial wipes like crazy on everything!!

Feel better soon kiddo...

I'm sorry to hear this, Katie. I hope you are feeling better. The colds that have been going around in our area have a tendancy to get better and then flair back up. I hope that isn't true in your case. DH started in with one yesterday, so I suppose I will get it. We made it through the winter w/o being sick and now that it is almost Spring, people start getting sick.--Pat
