Ow. =(

Ow. *cough* Well, I have a concert to perform in within the next 2.5 weeks ... but this evening, halfway through rehearsal, I started feeling a sore throat and couldn't stop coughing.

I took lozenges for it, and had a cup of steaming hot tea with lemon and ginger, but nothing worked. I suspect I've come down with a cold.

To be honest, I'm not surprised. Three days ago, the family got together for dinner, and my sister had a cold, and her kids (and my other sister's kids) were running around like crazy. And then, when I left work earlier today, I ran straight into a giant thunderstorm. (I had on my warmest coat, scarf, and hat, and a big umbrella, but none of it could protect me from the rain, and I got soaked to the skin).

So with all that going on, I wouldn't be surprised if I've got a cold. But it's rotten timing. *cough* Ow, ow, ow. I hate being sick. =(

I'm chewing on an antibacterial lozenge and waiting for my electric blanket to do something, and then crawl into bed. Wish me luck...

Hope ye feel better soon, Rath! I am sure with a soar throat or not, you'd still rock at singing.

[notbobsmith]

Sorry to hear that. Not much you can do except for bed rest.

[BBP]

Sorry to hear that Rath, get well soon!

[Qbix]

Hope the cold passes quickly.

Things are actually better now. I was a bit croaky and it hurt to talk for a day or two, which I took to be a bad sign (that's how colds get started, right?) ... so I got lots of rest, water, hot drinks and medication, and it passed.

So I'm back to normal now (yay!) Fingers crossed that it doesn't come back.
