I felt it. It hit yesterday morning right after first period. The first sign of a sore throat. That faint scratch you feel seeping up into the back of your throat. By 8th period, my voice was sore from talking all day and I needed more water to keep me going. Last night I took it easy, ate dinner, doused myself with airbourne and orange juice and went to bed.
It didn't work.
This morning the tightness in the throat and the cloudiness of the head are ever present. I can feel the congestion gathering in my nose and sinuses. And of course, it is back to school night tonight!
So to the five people who read my blog, what are your favorite cold remedies? Or cold preventions? How do you know when you have a cold coming on?
Just say no to the snot. It makes like miserable for all. Now I head to school to spray my room with Lysol and wipe down every desk, stapler, paper, pen, and door handle with a Clorox wipe. I will win the war on germs.

Positive thinking and OJ - I know it sounds ridiculous, but I just tell myself I'm not sick and it seems to work 8 out of 10 times.
Ha,ha,ha!! I love Lysol, and hand sanitizer...put a little dab under your nose...that kills the germs fast. And gargle with listerin, it really works too!
I use a sinus rinse every day all year round. Yes the real reason why I use it is for cronic sinus problems, but it really works! I have never caught the flu that goes around every year and I didn't get H1N1 last year (remember, I'm a high risk patient). The sinus rinse (or neti pot) helps to wash away dust, pollen, bacteria etc from your sinuses so that they don't have a chance to cause problems. I know, it sounds gross to squirt water up your nose, and it's not plesant the first couple of times, but once you see that it works, you'll be hooked! Of course using that with Lysol and regular hand washing helps too. Hope you feel better soon!
