during our recent visit to san antonio, bruce and i picked up a little more than a history lesson at the alamo. just as i was bragging about how long its been since i've had a cold.....
i am very bug concsious and wash my hands frequently especially when getting home from the grocery store. its amazing how much my nose and eyes itch on the way home from the store when i know i don't wanna touch my face.
the riverwalk was fun and entertaining, but warm and wet with lots of hosts to spread germs. seems like the bugs have a great time there as well. the railings, door handles, etc. - i shudder to think of the bacteria and viruses lurking about. i thought i washed my hands often, but apparently not often enough. one night when we got back to the room i sat on the bed after my shower. standing near me, bruce hadn't showered yet and i swear i could hear the bugs crawling on him! LOL
anyway, thank goodness i didn't get the flu shot the day i came back because i probably would have blamed this cold on that. i am not a good patient. i complain a lot and don't like to be uncomfortable. i haven't been to the gym since before the san antonio trip and i feel like a slug. i get short of breath just drying off after a shower and pray that i don't have pneumonia. i hate the way cold medicine makes me feel. nyquil gives me out of body experiences. LOL sooooo with flu season upon us, good hygiene is a good defense. i suggest the flu shot (which i intend to get, but not now) and vitamins as well - esp vitamin C.
happy fall, and stay healthy!
