Just what I needed - NOT!

[wiseheart]

The frigging cold I've managed to catch between the balcony and the living room has resurfaced yesterday. Very little actual coughing, no heightened temperature but a stuffed head and the excessive use of paper hankies. Which means my nose will be paper dry and hurting, soon, no matter how much salve I smear over it. Gah!

I have this... thing every dratted winter - and now that the flat is so nice and toasty, the temperature difference between actual rooms and the unheated balcony are much greater, hence the return of the usual "joys". Perhaps I should put on my parka every time I take the bedding out to the balcony to air or whatnot.

So, I was fairly useless all day, save for cooking lunch. I sat or lay ensconced in a warm blanket, blew my nose and felt terribly sorry for myself. *g*

Hopefully it IS only a cold.
Get better soon!

*joins you in feeling sorry for you*

Never feel sorry for feeling sorry for yourself in such a situation! I know how bad it is to have the stuffed nose-stuffed head syndrome!

I'm quite sure that it is. I get a stint like this every sodding winter — draught and sudden temperature differences are the bane of my existence.

thanks! *g*

Thank you! :)

Ooof! Wrap up warm and get some rest, if you can!

Aw that's no good! Rest up and feel better soon. At least it sounds like your usual thing and not the dreaded lurgy.

Awwww! That sounds miserable. I get the same nose problem when I get a cold, and found that trying to salve it during the day is just a waste. It works better for me if I apply it at night, so it can work while I sleep.

That is the idea, yes. :)

*fingers crossed in any case*

Thanks. The good thing with virtual hugs is that you can't transfer germs that way. *g*

It might be a waste, but if I didn't salve it during the day my nose would be one big, red wound by the evening.
