I’m glad to see that I’m not the only one who tries the denial technique, even though it’s never worked. I thought that strapping a bottle of Purell to my wrist during the holiday travels would do it, but nooOOOooo. I blame it on the disruption in the exercise routine.
I got lucky and only have the mild version this season. Nothing like the 3 week summer monster in June. Have you ever noticed that you tend to get the same kind of cold? My husband - always fever and respiratory, me - always sinuses.
I finally discovered that nothing makes it stick around like using decongestants. Now I’m all about snorting warm salt water & carrying a humidifier around the house with me.
