Try though I might
Sometimes I give in and say something personal. Can't keep it dignified all the time, right?! This time it's because if I could get my hands around the neck of whoever gave this cold to me I'd throttle them. My nose is stuffed, but only on one side which means I can breathe kind of, and my lips are dried out mostly on the inside because of the air that passes over them since I can't really breathe through my nose (does that happen to you when you have a cold or is it just my problem?) and I'm drinking so much water and tea that I have to go to the loo every two or three minutes and my eyes drip every so often just to remind me they're involved in a head cold, too, I guess. Then I get cold one minute and warm and stuffy the next (thank heavens I have a shawl) but the good news is that my throat isn't sore any more so that's progress. I've taken Quantum drops and they taste okay which is a plus but I'm not sure they do anything. I keep smearing Burt's Bees on my lips which helps a little and I suck on a Cold-Eze and/or a Tylenol every so often to try and stop the outright unpleasantntess but I don't think they help much either. I suppose I just have to accept the inexorable march through the symptoms but it's so annoying.
All right, I think that's all. That felt good. One just needs to to moan and groan sometimes.

Wow - saw thru my sites stats that someone came to my blog (Reflections by Kris) from here. Then noticed that I am linked in your blogroll! Thank you for that - I have returned the linky love.
I hope you do feel better soon. Have you tried Airborne? I swear by the stuff to head off or reduce the severity of a cold.

Yeah, colds really knock you for six don't they. [Oops, I guess that's a cricketing term!]
Have you ever received advice, do this, do that, and in three days your cold will be gone? And have you noticed that colds only last about three days anyway?
So I hope your three days are up and you're feeling better.
