I've got a cold and that ain't goodw

[trystinn]

Something has settled in my throat and head, something drippy and phlemy. My voice is somewhere between stereotypical witch cackle and demonic ravings. And it hurts when I talk. Ugh. Add to that sniffling, sneezing and coughing, achy body and all the other joy-joy aspects of a cold.

Needless to say, I'm taking it easy today. Its a good day for it. Natalie has arrived to entertain Emily, so they are off and running about town. Mum and Dad are at work, so Phoebe (the golden retriever) and I are hanging about the house trying to keep cool.

Did I mention its hot? 79 degrees and humid, with thundershowers expected. I'm not used to this kind of heat in May, this type of thing is more typical of August on the Island. Speaking of which, I just heard the first roll of thunder. Dear Gods, let it cool down, because this is misery.

I think I'm getting a bit of something too... probably because it was so hot and then it got cold and rainy then it was really hot for a day, then it got cold and rainy again :( I hope you feel better soon!

Oh no! I hope you get better soonest.

I was hoping this was an allergy, but more and more, its feeling like a cold. Fabulous timing.

Phoebe, as it turns out, is afraid of thunder storms. So she keeps climbing up on top of me and tucking her head under my arms, legs, etc. poor thing.

Insure Herbal Tincture by the Zand Company.

Buy it. Take it every day, or maybe 2x per day, two weeks on, two weeks off. Especially when traveling. Jay used to get sick from every trip until I forced a bottle of this upon him.

Is it at least cooling down a bit? Because being covered in frightented doggie is not exactly cooling. Hope you start to feel better soon!

Mine possibly is an allergy. I have a citrus allergy that reacts like a cold, and I - er - drank A LOT of mimosas in Portland *ahem*
So you better get better sooner than me ;-p

Awww poor puppy. I don't really like them either (mainly because where I come from there's tornadoes). Must be fun though...Golden Retrievers being lapdogs and all... ;)

It has cooled down this evening, but oddly I feel worse. I'm hoping that once the storm breaks things will improve.
