amycooperI'm sick, again.
I originally got sick with a cold in October and it lingered all the way through Thanksgiving. That Saturday after Thanksgiving, I became really sick with another cold, having never shaken off the first. Then that lingered. Midway through December I got that stupid UTI and shortly afterwards, my cold symptoms went away for a while, only to reemerge this last Tuesday. Last night and this morning have been horrible. Besides the congestion and cough, I've developed really bad sinus pressure. My face hurts.
So I went to the doctor's.
They don't 100% know why I've been so sick lately, but there's a couple of non-exclusive possibilities:
So begins Operation: Clean Everything. It isn't fun to do, especially when sick (did I mention how little I slept last night?) but I am determined to stop being ill. And yes, I can ask my husband to help; I probably will. But just like I have very little talent in the kitchen, my husband's views of "clean" vary greatly from my own. I know he'll help though.
I just completely wiped down the upstairs bathroom and went through the house pulling linens to be washed. I'm going to try to do a bit every day. Really through, wash down the walls, type cleaning.
Yay.

They don't 100% know why I've been so sick lately, but there's a couple of non-exclusive possibilities:
- I have and have had a sinus infection for some time. The UTI antibiotic isn't very effective against these, but might have enough to push away the symptoms for a while during and after taking it.
- Getting a cold can weaken your immune system, leaving you open to...more colds. Yay.
- I keep reinfecting myself.
- All three of these or a combination of them can be at play.
