The stress finally caught up with me...it's a nasty head cold
x(

I just emailed my Prof, I'm not going to school today. My nose, my sinuses, my ears are all plugged up. My throat is killing me. I'm exhausted. It's probably the same one that one of my Profs has been battling for 2 weeks now. Ugh.

I have a really important interview on Monday. I need to get over this, fast. I'm going back to bed. x(

1. Take good care of yourself
and take advantage of the three days you have to rest and recover.

Good luck with the interview. :loveya:

2. Olbas; Clears the Head; Soothes the Throat

"Get over it fast"-Don't count on it.
I had it all of March, was better for a week and
relasped into a chest thing. now on antibiotic and
s l o w l y getting better.

Early on my wife brought home Olbas cough drops, syrup
and tea she bought at the natural food store and while
not a cure all, the stuff did ease my discomfort a lot
and made sleep possible.
(the "Powerful Vapors" from the drops really do clear
nasal passages.
(My traditional remedy of Arrow Ginger Brandy didn't
save me this time)
Good luck.

4. I am going to 'online school'
They never have to see me in any form whatsoever, but still have some strict deadlines and no excuses whatsoever>> Oh well, am paying big $$ to accomplish this..it's all on me. It's hard to work it around my shiftwork..no sleep for the restless!
