After 2 years, a cold caught me (self-obs)

[sneezingfun894]

I was able to keep myself healthy the last couple years with the pandemic and all… but my luck changed this week. 
 

I work at an elementary school (where germs flow free). I still wear a mask since I work too closely with many children. It’s been really cold where I live (it’s Fall) and some of my colleagues took sick days last week. On Saturday I started feeling odd. My nose kept running throughout the day. Yesterday the same, along with some sneezes. This morning I woke up before my alarm went off, feeling like my throat was on fire. I kept debating whether I should call the school and take the day off and what helped me decide were a couple of cough-like sneezes. I’m taking a PCR test to see if it’s just a cold or COVID.

(as I was finishing up writing, I let out a huh-escheeew!)

You and me both. Literally just exiting my first cold, or any illness really, in over 2 years. Can't tell if I was extra whiny because I forgot how this felt or this was a pretty annoying cold.

Sorry to hear you're not feeling well, I'm only just starting to get over a cold I've had for well over a week. Hope you've got plenty of tissues/hankies to take care of yourself

Thanks!!! Been stocking up on tissues lol.

 

Day 2: I woke up with a very stuffy nose, sore throat and overall it felt as though I didn't get a good night's sleep, but I was able to do so. As of right now, my nose is still stuffy. Sneezing occasionally. Using tissues.
