What's up with Whatsit

Poor me

I have a cough. I don't feel bad otherwise. I sound like I feel bad because my voice is trying to go out, but I don't even have a fever. I'm thinking I just have sinus drainage. It was raining the night my daughter had her sleep study and my shoes got so wet that they weren't quite dry the next morning. That's probably part of what brought this on.

I have been trying to avoid going to the store for cough medicine because I don't want to get out and I also don't want to spend the money. I found out that Benadryl will stop your cough. If you don't mind being in a stupor, Benadryl is GREAT for coughs. I took one last night and slept like a log. This morning I decided I would just be sleepy as long as I could quit coughing. I had stopped taking my Vitamin C because I was trying to cut down on the number of pills I take (all supplements, no prescriptions - mostly vitamins) but I guess that one is important.

My mother is determined I have the flu, but I took a flu shot in September, plus my temp is normal. So there. She keeps telling me just to rest and keep telling her that I am resting, but you can't just rest 24 hours a day. It's amazing how much will get backed up if I don't either do it myself or have the argument with my kids to do it themselves. Dern. Plus I don't feel bad enough just to stay in the recliner all day. I have been on a new eating plan (the word diet has fallen into disfavor, evidently) and I have extra energy. Which is good, but doesn't go with having a day of rest so you can recover from illness. Ah, well.
