Day 3 of this wretched cold & there are no signs of improvement.
What else can I do? I drank 4 pints (at least) of water, some with emergen-c (pink lemonade flavored, still tastes shitty), Gatorade, zero pop (which is super hard for my caffeine-addicted ways), hot tea…
I’m poppin Vitamin C pills like they’re candy.
Soup is the only thing I eat pretty much.
Aquaphor all over my lips and nose cause they’re so dry from blowing and breathing out my mouth (gross…).
Afrin, Saline Spray, Nasonex helps with temporary relief - but wtf I want to go to some doctor and have them vacuum my nose, is that possible?
Thankfully, my boss saw how miserable I looked and let me go home at 1:49pm. At 2:11 I was already in home, sweatpants on, in bed, and took a bunch of dayquil and downed a water bottle and proceeded to pass out.
7 hours later and I’ve had more soup, water, vitamin c, emergen-c, watched 1 episode of Kim & Kourtney take NY, and now I’m back in bed feeling exhausted still.
I MUST NOT BE SICK FOR TOMORROW!
The goal is to sleep in, take a long hot shower, vitamin c overdose (ok not really), and not drink any booze until I get to the actual bar (the less alcohol I drink, the better, in this scenario).
Please fight my little immune system.
Love,
Katie
