Sneezing, runny nose, sore throat, OH MY!

UGH.

I feel your pain girl...

It's happened, the first cold of the season. Whoever got me sick...needs to pay for descending such a plague on me. I've had post nasal drip for about a month, and hate it. It is seriously gross. I learned how to hauck loogies a few years ago, because I HAD TO. It's gross, it's disgusting, but it's the only thing that gets the phlegm out. Mucinex is a god send, but only when you know how to hauck. What's crazy to me is why your body can't just digest phlegm. It seems to be able to digest everything else. Weird. 

Went to Thai Thai last night with Marissa for dinner. We both were super tired and not feeling ourselves, seeing that we both weren't feeling well I guess. After I left I went home, turned on the Netflix and parked it out the couch for the rest of the night. I started sneezing uncontrollably, then came the persistent need to blow my nose, and then the holy mother ship of knowing you're sick---the sore throat. UGH. I've been watching The Wonder Years on Netflix everyday for the past month. There's something really soothing about listening to the trials and tribulations of Kevin Arnold. It wasn't so bad I guess. At least I knew what was to come of this cold.

Today I haven't felt much like eating. I had a mint crunch protein bar and that's about it. Didn't even attempt to drink a shake. I must admit, I haven't been taking my vitamins like I should. The iron supplement seriously is a bummer. Constipation is something I'd like to avoid, especially after gaining weight the last time. Friday I actually have an appointment with Dr. Cusimano. I'm sure she's going to re draw blood work again. I'm going to have to come clean about my vitamins. I'll start taking them tomorrow, I promise. Hopefully they'll help me get over my cold. I found vitamin C supplements among my shmorgishborg of a collection. I'm going to try taking two with them per iron supplement I take. Eating a few oranges or clementines couldn't hurt. You can't really OD on vitamin C I've been told, hope I don't find out different!
