Fall Cold

I've been home with a cold for the last couple of days. I don't have a fever, but my head is so heavy with sinus congestion and pressure. I think it was a combination of things that led to my cold...weather change, staying-up late over the weekend, going to a party with a lot of kids in attendance (kids = cold carriers hehe), and a bit of stress that shot my immune system.

I tried to fight off this cold with some echinacea, neti-potting, and saltwater gargles, but the full blown cold eventually emerged. At least it is during the latter part of the week so I only missed a couple days of work. I'm looking forward to taking this weekend to rest some more and not think about the work I am missing.

So what have I been doing all day in my cold boredom? Not much. The usual routine of forced fluids, soup, and resting on the sofa. Yesterday I actually watched a marathon of The Real Housewives of Atlanta on the Bravo channel. It was my first time to watch that show and it is pretty crazy with all the drama and diva hoopla, but I was actually entertained during my sofa coma haha

Anyhow, back to planting myself on the sofa and decongesting. At least I have the cat to keep my company.

Enjoy your weekend!
