Last week everyone at work was sick, so naturally I have a touch of something this week. It’s not full-blown yet so I’ve been taking Airborne to give my immune system a boost and hopefully fight it off. Apparently it’s a losing battle as each day I feel a little worse.

Luckily there is a ton of cold medicine at work from all of the sick folks last week. There are Puffs tissues with Vicks inside of them, making it nice to blow my nose while also being able to breathe. One guy recommended Zicam that is suppose to shorten the time you have a cold. It worked for him as he started taking it at the first signs of a cold and only was sick for two days. I’m buying some tomorrow as it seems I have a cold for at least a week, sometimes longer.

If there was only a way to avoid having a cold altogether. Sadly by the time you hear of something going around, it’s too late. You’re already exposed and can’t really prevent it. Hopefully with Zicam and Airborne I can at least shorten the amount of time I’m sick. There is too much to do to be sick right now.
