Despite my best efforts of resting and taking it easy, I am still sick with a cold I just cannot shake. I started feeling better on Wednesday, but then on Thursday came down with this terrible cold. I have had a sinus headache since then, with a cough, runny nose, and today a sore throat.
My wonderful husband and his parents watched the boys yesterday, and I literally stayed in bed and slept for the entire day. I thought if I could just get some extra rest, I would feel better. No luck. Today I rested again, and missed a party I wanted to go to. Instead, Joe and I made a Costco run, and that just completely wiped me out. Joe finally told me about something a co-worker gave him last week, when he had the same cold. It is called Mucinex, and it breaks up mucus in your chest. Joe said he did feel a lot better after taking one that day at work.
I am usually not a big “pill” person, but I have tried every natural remedy I can think of, and it hasn’t helped. My wonderful husband, went to Target and got me some, and I have to say it seems like it is working. I still have a slight sinus headache, but it is much better, and my nose isn’t constantly running now. I hope this means the worst is over, and I will finally stop coming down with new symptoms with this horrible cold.
We got a change in the weather, and it is really snowing hard. I think it is supposed to keep snowing through tomorrow, so needless to say, the boys and I are staying home tomorrow. My wonderful husband (can you tell how much I appreciated him this weekend?) helped with a ton of housework this weekend, so with the exception of one bathroom, the house is clean, the laundry is done, and there is food in the fridge. I plan on taking it easy again tomorrow. Any healing vibes you can send my way, will be greatly appreciated.

I’m so sorry you’re still sick! You’ve really been wrung through the ringer this winter. I hope you’re feeling better soon!
Congrats on the new website! I’m so impressed: it’s amazing that you do so much around the house, with the boys, at work and you still have time to make something so fun!
Hope to see you soon!

How _miserable_. I hope you’re feeling better by now. I just hate these colds that wipe you out like that!
Hey – it’s going to be spring soon. And next year will be a better year for illness!
