[Yesterday: run/walk 6 miles]
I’ve been feeling a bit out-of-sorts since we arrived back home from our trip to Atlanta last week. I even took a bit of time off because of it.
Well, yesterday it came down hard as a head cold. My face is all stuffed up. My ears are ringing. I’m sneezing and carrying on. So far I’m not coughing much, for which I am thankful.
My wife is having the same symptoms. So we think maybe we got breathed on by the same people in Atlanta. Maybe there was something in the air at a restaurant or the hotel?
I slept in the guest room last night so that my sneezing and her coughing wouldn’t keep both of us awake. And I took some Nyquil which does a good job of knocking me out for a few hours. I think we both actually slept pretty well.
This morning I am sipping hot water. I don’t do caffeine, so tea and coffee are out. I guess I could make some hot lemonade. But hot water does the job. I can just sip it and it soothes my throat and gets the nose feeling a bit better. Back when I used to work in the office I could get hot water from a tap on the Bunn coffee machine. But now I microwave it in a 2-cup pyrex measuring cup.
I’ll miss going to church. I missed last week because of the travel and now again this week. I can tell when I’ve missed church on Sunday. About Thursday I start to get grouchy and irritable, really not much fun to be around. I don’t know if other people notice it, but I do. (So you all should be happy that I go to church so often, maybe you can be civil without it, but not me.)
