I am slowly recovering from a rotten cold. Possibly because I take antihistamines for my allergies, I don't get much of the typical runny nose with a cold any more. Instead, I get a miserably sore throat--the kind that calls for talking little, and that in a whisper--and after 2-3 days of that, the throat gets better and the coughing begins.

Even without having my nose run like a tap, my head feels like it's over-pressurized, keep having to 'pop' my ears. No fever, so no, not flu, although I generally do get achey. Well, more like feel someone should get the name of the bus that hit me, as I hack up big gobs of phlegm and sneeze, and sneeze, and SNEEZE!

I must be getting better, it's the ninth day, and I'm down to throwing a pity party. I'd overeat, but with a limited sense of smell, nothing tastes all that good. Time to go drown my woes in chicken noodle soup again.
