I've got a cold and it sucks

[conuly]

But at least I'm awake now. Yesterday I was able to wake up long enough to go to the bathroom and get some water, and as soon as I was done I'd fall back onto my bed with my head swimming and wait to pass out.

I must be getting better, I felt well enough to remember the existence of sudafed and take some.

Colds indeed suck! Mine is almost over, except for the lingering cough.

Colds definitely suck! *shakes fist at viruses in general*

I used to believe the "no cure for the common cold" line, but since the onset of the COVID pandemic I've started trying to do some sinus rinses and other viral load-reduction things, and either they do seem to help or the placebo effect does. In any case, I do hope that you start to feel better sooner rather than later, because ugh! Colds suck!

The trouble is that when I’m sick I’m usually too busy being sick to remember things like sinus rinses.

Awwww...well maybe that's what internet friends are for? :^)

Resting is definitely also part of the equation!

Spouse and I both seem to have gotten sick in the past 48 hours. I just have some sniffles, a headache, and occasional coughing or sneezing; she's been hit harder and is sleeping a lot. Both tested negative for COVID Friday night, and she tested negative again last night; I haven't re-tested yet, but I think it's just a cold. In any case, Halloween plans have been significantly down-graded.
