I thought I would escape, but I've caught some kind of cold or virus.

Chest and sinus congestion, and coughing, mainly. My throat feels really dry. I'm loaded up with medications, so no need for advice. Got my super sized bag of honey lemon cough drops right here.

The B!tch of it is, I won't be able to go to the food pantry for my neighbors tomorrow. I can't touch all the things I bring for them to eat, or cough all over them. I posted a notice in the elevator, so that people won't be expecting me.

New symptoms today...it's the flu.

2nd Update: this cold or flu or whatever it is is now a runny nose...It's just dripping ALL the time...and a cough. When I cough I feel like the back of my head is going to explode. Body aches are still here, but much more bearable.

[@4meAndyou ] I had that bug right after Christmas. I highly recommend 12 hour Sudafed (with 120 mg of Pseudoephedrine). It will stop the sinus congestion and prevent the infection from moving into your chest.

@BizSuitStacy Right now I doubt I could manage going to the store...but I used to take Sudafed fairly often.
