I think I'm sick

[eee1313]

I know I haven't posted in a while, but frankly, I haven't had much to say. Oh well.

In other news, I think I'm sick. The other morning I woke up and my right ear hurt a bit, like I was getting an ear infection. I haven't had one of those since I was a kid. Then last night my ear stopped hurting, but the right side of my throat and the sinuses on the right side of my face were hurting. That's no good. And now I'm sneezing, and it's gross. Ugh.

I hope this goes away quickly, because I can't take any time off for being sick this year. All the rest of my time off is dedicated to vacations. (I know, waaaaah, right?) Still, though, I feel yucky.

That is all.

Zicam really does shorten the duration of a cold. I highly recommend you start it right away, and I hope you feel better soonest.

I have stuff at home called -- and I quote -- No Time For A Cold. It's amazing. I wish I had taken some earlier. I just thought it was a sore throat, so I brought Chloraseptic strips in. But about an hour after I got into the office, this morphed into full-on Summer Cold. Ugh.

Blergh! Take lots of warm showers with the spray pointed at the affected areas (plug your ear up if you need to, but the warm and wet is GOOD for it) and rub your neck and sinus, gently but firmly, while the water is pointed at it. Also, if it's not cleared up or feeling better by the weekend, head into walk-in-care or the doctor for some antibiotics. Ear infections really can throw you off, what with all the balance and nausea bones in with the hearing bits.

I don't think it's an ear infection now. I think it was just sinus stuff that was blocking up my ear. And now it's all draining out of my head. NASTY.
