Why I dislike winter (aka the deathgrip cold)
I love the seasons and the changes. What I don’t like is winter and the countless opportunities we have for turning our bodies into a feeding ground for a random virus or bacteria.
Three weeks ago I developed a little sniffle, I didn’t think anything about it. I had it for approximately a week. The following week, all hell broke loose. 5 days of almost 24 hours of bed rest. I’m not talking sitting in front of the TV laying on the couch, I’m talking sitting in bed, feeling miserable, sleeping bed rest! Follow that with a week of horrible head congestion and a cough that felt like you were about to dislodge a lung and you really wonder what the hell hit you.
Antibiotics were no good (most likely a virus), decongestant was useless, as was any other drugs I attempted to use to cut off the advancing army of germs. It’s colds like this that make me VERY happy that January is a wedding-free month.
I guess it’s just my luck. Going from an INSANE holiday season and my accident, to the cold with a deathgrip. I should be good for the rest of the year now since I’ve gotten all of the insanity done and over with!
