Summer Colds

Dear Germies and Infectious Immune Shutter Downers,

Why did you deliver this cold to me in the summer? You changing things up on me? Why I oughtta! You have to understand how confusing this is to breathe in, that is, if I could breathe with my nose running like a faucet. I feel you should have waited until the air turned frigid. The winter air feels so much better on my scabbed throat working like a lozenge instead of swelling my lymph nodes even more into the ping-pong ball size they already are. In the cold, I could rightfully be sipping something hot and be huddled under a warm blanket. Instead, I'm crouched in the heat trying to continue on with summer activities getting no relief from my full sinused head.
Signed,
Vitamin C and Lots of Rest

PS If this is some allergic reaction, then please accept my apology.

Ugh summer colds are the worst. I got a cold in Hawaii but denied it bc how could I be sick in such beautiful, warm surroundings? I hope you get over it quickly. Keep up with the fun posts, we miss you guys!

I feel your pain and misery as I currently sit here with my box of tissues wondering if I'm going to be able to sleep tonight. I'm about to go get the fabulous nasal spray and keep popping immune boosters. How do you get a could in the summer? This has been my question for the last 48 hrs. According to my Dad a few drops of oregano under the tongue helps push the nasty thing away faster. I'm ready to try anything as we leave for vacation in 3 days. Hope you feel better quickly
