First Cold of the Season (Day 17)

Hi Everyone -

I'm feeling a little under the weather. This pending cold may have been the reason for my not-so-restful sleep the other night and may have contributed to getting a cold. Either way my head is stuffed up and so I'm not doing much today. I felt it coming on yesterday afternoon but made it through the work day.

I"m heading back to bed now but wanted to check in.

Hey Rich.

I'm sorry you're feeling bad. Get lots of rest and I hope this is short lived and you'll feel better soon. ( Congrats on Day 17 ! )

Big feel better hugs~

if you happen to go to get cough suppressant medications or stuff for cold and flu make sure to read and be sure it does not have alcohol as a main ingredient as many of them basically do...I think Robotussen is one that is alcohol free....

My "go-to" when I feel a cold comin' on is Airborne tablets, plenty of OJ cut with diet Sprite, Progresso chicken soup and lots of sleep.

Hope you are "up and at 'em" in no time!

It was hard when i got a cold in the early days. I wanted the relief that booze offered. It was just the inner addiction and the cold was when my defenses were down. You will get thru it just keep going

Hi --

I'm feeling better today but still not 100% but well enough to be at work.

The other thing that sucks is my sense of taste is off so my flavored seltzer tastes weird so Im drinking the plain seltzer my wife usually drinks.

    Can you identify these rom-coms from just a screenshot from the middle of the films? This is a multiple choice quiz so even if you're not entirely sure you can always take a guess and at least have a 25% chance of getting it right anyway, so why not have a go?! https://www.buzzfeed.com/alysaurus688/rom-com-screenshot-trivia-quiz
