First True Cold of 2016? (Self obs, F)

[norcal tinkfan]

Between Christmas & the New Year I really thought I had a cold. So either it was relatively mild or something else all together. All I know is that today I have come down with what is unmistakably a cold. Colds abound at work so not a huge shock I guess.

I woke up this morning with the the telltale sore throat. As soon as I swallowed a couple times and felt that sting I knew. As today went on I was getting slightly achy, I found myself sniffling and wiping my nose with tissues and needing to blow. Not too long after the sneezing started.

By early evening I found myself on the couch with my handkerchief and runny/itchy nose. My sneezing is full of HIASCHOOOOO...HESCHOOOOO germy goodness every few minutes followed by wet blows.

I have had one mini fit of six sneezes. I fell asleep for maybe a 1/2 hour. When I woke up I started sniffling. The sniffling caused a tickle in my right nostril. I stupidly sniffed again thinking I could rid of it. My nose started that burn and then HASCHOOOOO...HASCHOOOOOO... HEH...HESCHOOOOO..HASCHOOOOO...HIH...HUH...HUSCHOOOOO...ASCHOOOOO! I then blew into three tissues to clear my nose.

So now I am in bed keeping warm and drinking tea to soothe my throat.

Cold is worse today. Or I should say it's pretty full blown...pardon the pun! LOL!

Sneezes are taking me by surprise from time to time. Mostly I get the burn in my nose and am ready to catch them in my handkerchief sneezing wet HACHOOOOOs into them. But there have been a few times when a sneeze (or two) come out of "no place."

I was walking down the hall and before I knew it and nowhere near a tissue or handkerchief I sneezed ASCHOOOOO...HAH...HASCHOOOOO sending wet spray into my hands.

I had to leave the house for some cold medicine (not that it seems to be working well...but does it ever) but managed to catch everything in a tissue. Yay, me!

You catch some of the dreamiest colds!

Thank you for sharing! Glad some of your sneezes were caught into handkerchiefs! What kind of hankies did you use?

Those sneezes sound gorgeous! I hope their relief gave you something to counteract the more horrible symptoms. Please keep us fully advised of any more that you enjoy...
