Sniffles and Cough, It's a Cold...Oh My!

It seems it's that time of year again - sore throat, cough, sniffles - yes, it's the dreaded cold! Last Saturday I woke up with a sore throat that gradually turned into a cold this week. It's amazing how a "little" cold can wear you out. I think I've been in bed by 8:30 every night this week. Even the vitamin C and echinacea didn't get rid of it. It's now Friday evening, almost a week later and the sore throat is gone, but the cough and tiredness are still here. I was hoping to go camping with a group of teachers this weekend (perfect weather for camping!) but decided I needed to stay home and rest. Hopefully, with a quiet weekend, this cold will be gone by Monday.
