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 . . .

zinc throat spray

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!
