Summer colds

[betagirl]

Is it just me or are colds in the summer exponentially worse than the winter? Why is that? Is it psychological because it's so nice out and you're bummed to be indoors? I have a wicked cold, and am effing miserable. Actually I think it's the flu because I have a fever. Regardless, whenever I get these in the summer I feel like I've been run over by a bus. For some reason I can handle it better in the winter. Anyone else notice this?

Time for some day-quil and the sofa. My bikes are bored.

Yes! I can sympathize because I'm in Day 9 of the flu. Poor you! Poor me!

I think it's worse in the summer because I feel robbed. So, yes, it's maddening along with being boring and, well, a big waste of time. I just bought a bike, so I can only pad out to the garage and look at it - no riding yet. But I am feeling better, so maybe this weekend I can do SOMETHING.

But you know the drill, wait it out and try to sleep a lot, so you don't get a second round of it.

Sometimes it helps to get out and ride around the block ... and sometimes not...

I never get sick... but then again I avoid people at all costs. Being anti-social has its pluses!

At first sign of a cold I take Yin Chiao a chinese remedy which really kicks butt. I think summer colds are more depressing in any event.

Ha! That's funny.

I can relate.

Sadly I guess, I'm not joking.

Basically I avoid children because they are germ carriers and if someone even seems sick I'm out of there. Last time I had a cold (and now I've probably jinx'd myself) was maybe 6 - years ago. The flu... can't remember. I just hate being sick. No fun!
