Mild tickle in my throat. I wondered if it was the beginning of springtime allergies. 24 hours later it was clear. I have a full blown chest cold. Sore throat, productive cough, basso profundo croaking voice. A friend from back east called me midday; “how sexy you sound! Just like Barry White.” <br /><br />Sexy is not how I felt l this morning. I had all of two hours sleep last night. With a throat that felt like I’d gargled with battery acid, I hit the throat lozenges hard and the fluids even harder. This meant trips to pee every couple of hours. I finally said the hell with it at 4:45 this morning & got out of bed to make avgolemono (Greek chicken soup with egg and lemon). I’ve laid low today, pushing tea and other fluids and snacking on the avgolemono.<br /><br />LJ came down with the same mid morning. He’s slept a good chunk of the day. I’ve been wide awake, while he’s been out cold. He’s lagging behind with his symptoms about 24-36 hours after mine. The good news is I think I’m just starting feel a bit better. My throat is a little less scratchy. I’m a little less achy. I actually had an appetite at dinner. <br /><br />We’ll see what the morning brings.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=osodecanela&ditemid=515187" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
