I hope this cold passes quickly and you're back on your feet soon, Emily.
Thanks! I wish I'd thought to bring zinc lozenges. Have not seen them here at all -- and I have looked. But Mexicans LOVE their Hall's. They sell them everywhere, like candy. I picked up a few packs today to supplement my liquid cough syrup and decongestant pills, plus my asthma inhaler. This too shall pass...I just hate missing out on workouts!
