A few days ago was the first day of summer, and boy has it been hot enough to call summer. Summertime is a time for shorts and swimming and being outside and feeling great, am I right? So why is it the the first week of summer (and the whole week before) Kevin, Abi and I have been sick with a cold? And not just any cold; the cold from ... well, you know where. And just as we were recovering from Yellowstone? Here's how it happened.
Kevin woke up one morning about a week and a half ago complaining of a sinus headache. The next day, Abi had a runny nose and my throat was itchy and I was congested. After that, it sort of spiraled out of control and before we knew it, we were just a bunch of sneezy, coughy, snotty, gooey sickos buried under a mountain of tissues and vapo rub. The whole week went by and some things got better while other things got worse. Abi went from having a runny nose, to a stuffy nose w/sneezing, to a cough, and now she has a goopy eye and a fever. I'm basically struggling with the congestion still and am addicted to nasal spray. I know on the back it says to not take it for longer than 3 days, but if I can't breath and no pills help, what am I supposed to do? I can't eat, I can't sleep and I can't focus, so I'm going to sniff that stuff till this thing goes away, which it sort of is. Kevin seems to be doing the best now of the three of us, he just makes gross noises in the bathroom from time to time to get the extra phlegm up.
Sorry for the nasty update, but these things are sort of frustrating to me. I just feel so bad for Abi, every time I look at her eye, it makes mine water. Hopefully things get better soon and we can enjoy the remainder of the summer.
