I'm leaking!! *wail*

[kangeiko]

I appear to no longer be water-tight. The main culprits are my nose and tear ducts, but I am also going to the loo every half-hour. Mmmm, sexy. It all leads me to believe that my horrid cold from exam-time has made a return (via the hideously useful course I was on, which contained enough people from across the country to bring me all new and exciting germs). I am fighting back with soup, lemsip and strepsils, although they appear to be having a limited effect. Last night was pretty bad. My throat dried out completely - the one liquid I am missing is any saliva I might have once possessed - but my nose was blocked. That, combined with a chesty cough, was very painful, especially once the lack of moisture led to the lining of my throat becoming v. irritated. I could hold it at bay by sipping water all night long, but that involved not sleeping. So, today, I am tired & grumpy & unable to eat anything except liquids. Mmmm, soup. Mmm, smoothies. It's lucky that there is a vast choice of liquid food out there that is actually rather nice.

Anyway, I hope to be better reasonably soon. It's a cold, after all, albeit a really annoying one, and it started Thursday/Friday, so hopefully I'll be human by Xmas.

Now, I have to go to the loo again. It's been a whole twenty minutes. *sigh*

Poor you. wingsmith is also poorly, and stuck in The Middle of Nowhere with Limited Phone Reception. Hot toddies have always helped me through dark times, plus they have a lemon in so are clearly good for you.

Ginger, too.

Mmmm, nature. Good for some things.

Although not, I grant you, when it's this buggering cold.
