So, for the second time since October 21st, I am sick. A little backstory. I work at a library with kids. I have off during the summer and only work during the school year. After being off all summer, I returned to work on October 21st. That same day, I caught a cold, and by Wednesday evening, I was losing my voice, something that ever since I started working with kids. It seems to happen every time I get a cold. I ended up missing an entire week of work, finally feeling well enough and reagining enough of my voice to go back to work on Halloween. Fast forward to now. I now have another cold. It started in my chest mostly and was making it hard to breathe at first. I have bad asthma also. The breathing has sorted itself out. For a day or two, I mostly had a cough. But now the cold is moving away from my throat and lungs and into my nose! I can't breathe through my nose at all, and I keep inducing sneezes to get even a brief moment of clarity. It sucks! I don't even think chhinkni would work because I can't breathe through my nose at all. Dear gods, help me. I hate this so much. The only good thing is that it's happening now and not next week when I have my writing group and two separate family get togethers. Hopefully, I'll be better before then....
