    I confess I really, really hate colds, especially when I can't communicate with the pharmacist because for some reason she doesn't understand me sniffling and acting super congested like I am... :(

    Im gonna give you an old nursing tip..Everything is over the counter so it may help...... Before bed take. 1 multvitamin 2 vatimin C 500mg, 2 claritin (or benadryl ) 2 tylenol 500mg,and 1 zinc . This usually shocks your system and helps you get over a cold quick ... Nurses use it down here if we feel the symptoms of a cold coming on

    Might not be over the counter in Mosscow.

    Exactly. My mom's a nurse, so I know allllllll the tips and do them when I'm in my own country, but I'm in a little bit of a foreign place where I don't know brand names and can't read labels (well, I can sort of sound things out in Russian since thank god I've retained my ability to read Cyrillic, but I'm really slow and don't understand what anything means, haha). Was able to get a Russian teacher to go to the pharmacy with me this afternoon to get some OTC stuff. It's actually cleared me out pretty quickly but runny noses are just as icky and annoying as stuffy ones... Blech.

    I confess the kids went back to shool yesterday and I'm exhausted already. One in seventh grade and one in first grade....lots of paperwork when they came home from school and then my son (7th grade) has six different teachers. He met four yesterday and came home with papers and things he needed for their classes. Insanity... and, to top it off he had his first fall baseball practice. It was a late night, but I slept so good!

    I confess I am running late today. Didn't have the motivation to get out of bed until the time I am usually leaving the house. Got to work 40 mins late, which means I need to shorten lunch or work late today.

    I confess I was really dragging *kitten* this morning. I made it to work at my normal time but had no attention span. I'm really not sure how I got here. I don't remember the drive. I remember being in the parking lot and checking to make sure my doors were locked, getting something out of the trunk and checking my doors again. Then I saw a homeless guy wandering down the sidewalk and thought I felt more miserable than he looked. It's not fair that I have to go to work but he doesn't.

    Maybe your coming down with a virus or something. Alot of times when you just start feeling sick you get draggy and kinda depressive before your cold symptoms appear

    I think it's just that it's Monday and I really don't like my job right now. It's becoming mundane BS on regular basis.

    Haha I wish! Teaching teenagers with no voice was quite interesting. Got some meds after work, so hopefully I'll be better for the two classes I have to teach tomorrow. At least my students had a nice giggle at my expense ;)

    I confess I just went to HR on one of my co-workers. The man smells like a week old gym bag all the time... Anytime he comes around I get nausa, I told Hr I felt bad and then they told me that they've recieved multiple complaints on this guy and have spoken to him before
