I was humming along nicely with the photo challenge but then I contracted the plague and lost my will to go on.
My husband caught a bad cold from some of his studio clients and of course I got it from him. I was this close to being over the bronchitis I'd had since Christmas and then I was plunged back into the whole mess again. Yesterday I went to the doctor and was re-prescribed all the heavy-duty meds I'd already taken this year. Ugh.
The fun, new symptom of this particular cold is that I can't taste or smell anything. Ordinarily I have an unusually sensitive nose, so it's just plain weird to have that shut off completely (although it made scooping the cat boxes a lot less unpleasant). Also, I have to say that not being able to taste anything really sucks a lot of joy out of life. Right now I'm sipping a cup of jasmine tea that may as well be a cup of plain hot water.
Today the coughing has subsided considerably, which is good because I was tired of getting the Typhoid Mary stinkeye from everyone I encountered.
If this latest round of antibiotics and steroids don't do the trick, it'll be time to make the rounds of specialists. The whole allergy/asthma thing I deal with all the time has already made it so I can't sing in a band anymore. It may be time to look for a more targeted allergy treatment and make sure my sinuses don't have something going on that we don't know about.
So how's your week so far?
feel better soon! My daughter complained of her throat hurting at 9pm on a sat night, since she is 3 I took her to urgent care, and she was right to complain... Strep throat it is... other than her having a completely restless/whimpering night Sat night we have done ok. Trying to stay home as much as possible because MAN there are a lot of bugs going around right now!

Wow, you certainly have had your share of respiratory problems in the last 6 months. I hope you feel better soon. Also, I hope all those tornadoes last night missed you -- and that you, hubby, dog, and all the kitties are safe and sound this morning.
