What a difference 12 hours makes...I feel much, much better now. Still sore and congested, but the congestion has moved into my chest, so I'm coughing. I'd rather cough than sneeze, personally. Thank God, because I was not looking forward to trying to work today under the conditions I was in yesterday. But I know I'm not out of the woods yet--I can feel the swelling in my ear sinuses, so I have to hope I don't get an earache or infection. Crossing my fingers now. :) I'm about to leave for work now though, and maybe I'll update here later...I have some thoughts on some things...but we'll see if I have the time to share. :)
