I almost made it all of the way through January without getting sick.

As of yesterday, I was officially sick as a DOG.

In the spirit of finding the silver lining, this is the first time since I was diagnosed with asthma about eight or nine years ago, that I have gotten a chest cold and not have it cause an asthma attack. I just left the doctor’s office, and she confirms that I definitely have whatever cooties’ that is going around but no asthma. A small victory, considering how crappy I feel but it is a big deal to know that the Breathe Deep tea, honey and cayenne pepper are working to keep my airways open. I’d like there to be more healthy remedies and hopefully less traditional medicine. I feel some juicing coming in my future.

I picked up this crap at work. As much as I wash my hands and open doors with paper towel and keep my hands out of my face, I still picked up this cold at work. I found out a little too late that one of my co-workers with a cold used my computer. Ah-ha, my keyboard – now I am going to take some Lysol spray to work and keep my keyboard and mouse disinfected. Geez-Louise one more thing to do. I am going to continue doing everything I can to stay healthy.
