Pondering

[dancerjodi]

Both of my eyes are really red, and my nose has been running all day (yay for a new box of soft kleenex). I was sweating a lot earlier (where I'm usually cold) and shut the heater near my desk off. Yep, its a cold (and not allergies as I was hoping)! I've felt that slight soreness in the back of my throat for 2 weeks that usually turns into a cold. It hadn't gotten worse, but hasn't gotten better either (and Sunday made me worried that it seemed just a tad more pronounced). Its just a cold, but I'd prefer it to stay there rather than shooting its way down my chest into my lungs and making my oh-so-not-fun asthma act up.

So I'm fighting with myself about dance class. I think I may just skip it in exchange for sitting on the couch with never-ending herbal tea, a blanket, closed eyes, and a cat. Yeah, and getting to bed early. Dammit! I don't want to miss dance class. But I am planning on sticking around on Saturday after Ballet class to work more on the tap routine, so I could just call *that* my lesson. I'll see how I feel when I get home . . .

Do You still have cold tea? Should I make another batch for you guys sometime after I get back?

Yeah I hear you on the cold thing mine has turned into a sinus infection that should be fun to fly with...blech

*hugs*
I will see you when I get back...

TIAMO!

Cold tea

Its all gone. I think all the Eucalpytus I bought at Artemesia is too (gee, that would have been good to have picked up in Salem, dummy me!) :)

I've had a really good year in terms of colds, with none of them getting bad. That's why I've slowed down when they've flared up, its totally been worth it.

Have fun on your trip!

"Feel better!!! *hug*"

Thanks! I'll be sure to keep my distance from you tomorrow night, because you don't need my germs. We're meeting at 8, right?

And if I'm sick tomorrow I'll give you guys a call and let you know. :)

I *thought* 7:30pm...however, either works for me. Just let me know.

It was 7:30; but if 8 works better for you two, that's cool.
I have a temp job starting tomorrow, so I'll likely be coming right from it. J, Call my cell or email me if you think you'll need to resched.

sounds to me like you should skip class.

I hope you took a night off from class and rested up. My tonsils are still 'touchy' and it's the 2 and a half weeks mark - seems the more you exert yourself the longer this Winter's bugs keep the upper hand. LOOK AFTER YOU! x0x

I haven't come down with a cold since a friend introduced me to zinc throat spray. I highly recommend it. When I start to feel those germs knocking at my door I use the zinc and they vamoose.

Feel better soon!

Wow, I've never heard of it. Where do you get it?

I had this great "cold tea" a friend made me with eucalpytus (among other things). It did the same for me, but I'm long out! I did make my own by mixing a good herbal tea with some eucalpytus I bought, but I've been so healthy I forgot I ran out of the herb :)

I can't remember whether I got this at Bread &Circus or Cambridge Naturals.

It's made by Source Naturals and is called Wellness Zinc Throat Spray. It puckers up your mouth like crazy but boy is it worth it!
