Pass the Black and Decker....

I've suddenly developed a stinking cold (which may be why I was distinctly off for the back half of last week), the kind that feels like my head is about to explode because of blocked up sinuses, yet sinuses which are simultaneously running continuously. Couldn't they just pick one? Couldn't they have got this out of the way before the weather started perking up? Grr!

I'll be curled in the corner with a book, hot lemon, and a hot toddy....

My sympathies. One damn cold has been passed around my town all Winter: it burrows in, producing a thick green mucus with no redeeming qualities whatsoever. Also cough.

Here, have some chicken soup.

Urgh, I hate it when that happens. I get sinus infections like that all the time. I end up taking anti-histamines even though I'm not allergic to anything, because it helps keep the swelling and pressure down.

I'm on the cold and flu remedies, the pseudo-ephedrine in Hot Lemon and the like seems to work quite well. I'm still headachey, and now my throat is getting involved, but at least I don't have the pounding pressure headache of yesterday.
