Barb’s Burblings

I have a cold. Well, I guess that’s what you’d call it. Luckily there’s no coughing (I left that to the half of my department who have some upper respiratory infection; they were out the end of last week and have been in the office this week, walking around like zombies); it’s manifested itself mostly in an insanely stopped up nose. I’ve been living off of Sudafed nasal spray, which works so well that I feel fine, so I’m convinced that I’m no longer sick, so I stop taking it…and then I lack the ability to breathe. And then I get winded walking to the elevator at work.

But after a couple of weeks of this, concerned about the warning on the bottle that I shouldn’t take it more than 3 days and convinced that really, this thing has to have run its course, right?, I decided to stick to my regular Nasonex. So the past couple of days have involved me blowing my nose a lot and having brief periods of being able to breathe normally. (Huzzah!)

The strange thing is, even though sometimes just walking around makes me feel crappy, I was still able to go to tap and dance to a medley of songs from High School Musical over and over and over and still feel pretty good.

I don’t understand my body.
