Summer Cold

Posted at 4:26 pm MDT to Weather

It was chilly and windy all weekend -- on Saturday at market I only shed the outermost layer of what I was wearing from 7am to 2 pm, and yesterday I left the heat on in the house all day and never switched the system over to A/C.

Today is nice, but I have either caught a cold or I'm having an allergic attack from hell. Sore throat. Major sneezing. Watery eyes. Congested and draining sinuses with a sort of seeping nose bleed (I think the sneezing ruptured some capillaries) that makes everything smell and taste like blood.

At least I'm not coughing. Much. And swallowing seems to be working, not that I have much appetite.

I hope this is a cold, actually. It would be depressing to totally disrupt my eating patterns to avoid food allergies and immediately get hammered by hay fever. It feels more like a cold: the sore throat hit first, which isn't a hay fever pattern.

Now I need to find something Ican eat that will cut through the sludge enough to be appetizing.
