Update

Last Sunday night, I got a tickle in my throat.  On Monday the head cold set in.  I don't get many colds but this was a doozy.  Of course I was watching for fever, which never happened.  I didn't get aches, rashes, diarrhea, headache or loss of taste.  I did lose my appetite but could always taste.  I had a lot of sneezing and congestion but no dry cough.  They say tiredness is a symptom of COVID.  I am normally a good sleeper and get 7 - 8 hours every night.  Here is my week of sleep compliments of my Fit Bit!  I never slept or napped during the day!


I didn't get tested as I didn't have the symptoms of COVID.  I didn't go out and have been stuck in my house all week.  I've never felt like I had a contagious disease before.  Cec is fine and how he's not caught it is bewildering considering the sneezing.  Of course I wash my hands often and try to keep away from him.  Our TV remote control is in a zip lock.  I have no idea how I caught it.

I had some cold medication but not getting many colds, I don't know what is good.  Richard dropped off Cold FX.  I've heard how it doesn't work, but when I started taking it, I started to immediately improve.  

I've been staying off the phone because when I talk it starts the sneezing!  I am on the mend.   Last night I slept for 7 hours!  

Normally when you have a cold, you continue life.  I brought life to a halt.
