Ow. *cough* Well, I have a concert to perform in within the next 2.5 weeks ... but this evening, halfway through rehearsal, I started feeling a sore throat and couldn't stop coughing.

I took lozenges for it, and had a cup of steaming hot tea with lemon and ginger, but nothing worked. I suspect I've come down with a cold.

To be honest, I'm not surprised. Three days ago, the family got together for dinner, and my sister had a cold, and her kids (and my other sister's kids) were running around like crazy. And then, when I left work earlier today, I ran straight into a giant thunderstorm. (I had on my warmest coat, scarf, and hat, and a big umbrella, but none of it could protect me from the rain, and I got soaked to the skin).

So with all that going on, I wouldn't be surprised if I've got a cold. But it's rotten timing. *cough* Ow, ow, ow. I hate being sick. =(

I'm chewing on an antibacterial lozenge and waiting for my electric blanket to do something, and then crawl into bed. Wish me luck...

Hope ye feel better soon, Rath! I am sure with a soar throat or not, you'd still rock at singing.

Sorry to hear that. Not much you can do except for bed rest.

Sorry to hear that Rath, get well soon!

Hope the cold passes quickly.

Things are actually better now. I was a bit croaky and it hurt to talk for a day or two, which I took to be a bad sign (that's how colds get started, right?) ... so I got lots of rest, water, hot drinks and medication, and it passed.

So I'm back to normal now (yay!) Fingers crossed that it doesn't come back.
