It’s the time of year for colds

Gene came down with a cold earlier this week. He worked from home on Thursday and Friday to try to rest up and get better. I thought we had been doing so well staying away from each other and keeping clean but yesterday afternoon lo and behold, I got a sore throat. It got worse as the evening wore on but I had bought some soup after work so that helped me feel slightly better, for a time.

And then last night I had a stuffy nose and my throat was even worse and I kept waking up every hour or two. Bleh. I’m feeling much better now, I think the sleep I got did help, but I still have a tiny itch in my throat and I’m fairly tired. I’ve taken rests a couple of times today where I just lay down for a bit so I think that will aid me in healing faster. In such a small space I suppose it was bound to happen. Perhaps next time I’ll be in better shape or I’ll do better with keeping the apartment clean to avoid catching another cold.
