So I've been dealing with a pretty annoying cold for most of the week, and I'm glad to say I'm pretty much over it now. However, if there's anyone out there who's still not feeling well and could use a little bit of advice on the subject, here's a short list that I hope helps. As for everyone else, file this information away too. It could come in handy some day.
- Never trust that if you take non-drowsy medicine that you won't get tired. If you are sick, you'll feel tired all the time anyway.
- Know that school will make things inconvenient when your sick, especially when it schedules tests and projects while your sick so instead of just taking a day off to get better you have to run around in abnormally cold weather and study which only makes you feel worse.
- You'll yearn for a time when food doesn't have an aftertaste of mucus and cold medicine. Accept it.
- You would think that if you have a fever and chills that one would cancel out the other but this is unfortunatly not the case.
- Tissues feel much better than paper towels or paper napkins but any of these can work in a pinch.
- Two words: Chicken Soup. I don't understand why it helps so much, but it does.
- Nap whenever you have some spare time. Your body needs plenty of sleep and has no problem telling you that when your sick. Take advantage of it.
- If you're starting to feel better, avoid catching another cold and starting the whole cycle over again.
