Tumbleweeds have taken over this blog this week…<\/p>\n

\"I<\/p>\n

Chalk it up to feeling unwell and overworked.<\/p>\n

Last weekend, I began to feel congested. On Sunday, I had a sandpaperish throat and clogged sinuses. On Monday, I had congestion in the bronchial passages and a persistent cough.<\/p>\n

Allergies? A cold? I have no idea. Just when I’m sure it’s a cold, I think it’s pollen allergies. Just when I’m convinced it’s allergies, I know it’s a cold.<\/p>\n

Allergies seems more likely — after a very wet spring (which would have kept the pollen at bay) the last week has been dry, and the color mucus I’ve hacked up doesn’t have a sickly cast to it — but it could easily be a cold, as several others at the office suffer from the same malady.<\/p>\n

Either way, it’s persisted for a week. I went and bought some OTC cold\/allergy medicine on Wednesday, which was good in one way (the sinuses dried up) but was bad in others (I felt sleepy and drunk), and I’ve since left it alone. I have days where I feel better (like Thursday) and days where I feel worse (like yesterday). The sore throat has largely passed (it’s still a little scratchy, but not as painful as it was), but I’m still congested in the bronchials and in the sinuses. Another few days still, I’m sure.<\/p>\n

More information than any of you wanted, I’m sure. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
