Day four of “cold watch.” No, not the nor-easter, my own personal relationship with an unfriendly germ. Have you ever wondered why you get a cold? No, not HOW (I know that), but WHY. Why must this little virus make itself at home in me? I didn’t invite him. I didn’t welcome my voice going from baritone to a Wookiee. And how can some uninvited germ wreak so much havoc in a short time … coughing, sneezing, congestion, sinus pain, aching all over (even my teeth) … and now the friendly little guy is saying hello to my eyes? Good grief!!
As for eating? Well, the old adage is “feed a cold, starve a fever.” I know most of those wives tails were born from something that worked. Although, in my mind, I think starving anything is not a good idea. But as for “feed a cold,” I think it’s there because when you have a cold, you really don’t want to eat. I have minimal appetite at the moment, and nothing tastes good.
Bet you’re really glad you joined my blog today. TMI. More resting for me.
