Whine

I'm feeling a little under the weather. Yesterday, I sneezed approximately 700 times, and used about 1000 tissues. (Amazing how they all fit in the one Kleenex box on my desk). I didn't feel that bad, other than the sneezes and runny nose. Since the runny nose continued at work, at pottery, and at home, I decided it wasn't some allergy thing.

Yes, I was that kid. The one you had in your class every year. The one with the sore-looking nose and the nasty-looking tissue. The one who, last night, out of desparation, blew her nose on her t-shirt. (Don't worry, she was in the car, on her way home, and she will never lend out that t-shirt.)

The sneezing has subsided. Now the throat feels scratchy. There's the dull pressure behind my eyeballs. I'm not hungry for anything other than soup.

All I can think about is that I better have energy for surfing on Saturday.

A good guess - you didn't make asht-e-reshte. Tsatsatsa ;) But I didn't either and now the cold has gotten tight grip of me, too. Stef advised me to try ginger and honey; ginger root cooked in a portion of water, then rounded off with honey and lemon/lime juice. Very good warmer, and a booster to your immune system.
Get well soon!!

Thanks for all your well wishes (and the potion recipe). I'm feeling better. Now just two days until surfing lessons!
