brightrosefoxI'd forgotten that I have olive leaf extract and zinc. They work better than vitamin C, at least for me. Olive leaf is specifically used to fight viruses and infections and stuff, and everyone knows that zinc fights colds, not to mention acne.
Still, I'm staying home tomorrow just to be on the safe side. My skin right now is an interesting shade of off-white, I'm chilled and yet sweating, I'm tired, my head is stuffy, and my throat is sore. Yay me, I have a cold. It got real bad at work today--two hours before I left, I was dragging myself across the library, shaking. Ray suggested I take lots of medicine when I got home. I suggested I take an extra day of rest. He agreed, although we both knew I'd be sorely missed. We're moving the library. Slowly. But it's a lot of physical work, and it really beat me down today. It'll be worse tomorrow if I go in this condition, and Ray knows that. I'm glad he treats me well. Besides, I think I have some personal time coming up anyway; might as well use it.
I know I'll be fine come Friday night--the olive leaf, zinc, ginger root, ginseng, and vitamins should knock it right out. If it's not gone by Saturday morning, I'll know I'm in trouble. Cause I did get my flu shot. In October.
Going to curl up under the blankie now.
