My official spring time cold

I am going to blame getting a cold on the weather plus having to turn the heat back on. We had all sorts of wind. And rain. And thunder and lightning.
At any rate I have had a headache and sore throat all day.
Like others have said, I took an antihistamine, and I slept.
I woke up enough to make a good evening meal, then came here to the computer. Truth is, I want to sleep some more, and I will.
It seems I always get one really nasty cold around Easter time, and here it is.
Five more Mondays left of school. Counting it down.

Blah. I’m sorry you have a cold. I always recommend Zicam (zinc) for helping with a cold. I know everyone is different, but for me it goes a long way in keeping the symptoms of a cold to a minimum.
Hope you feel better quickly.

Next time, you should just leave the heat off and see if you still get a cold. 
I hope you feel better soon.

I think whatever this is just blew in on the wind. It was nasty for a day or two.

@GardenGerty We got a high density of pollen here. I'm sure you got the same thing there.

I think it will get worse before it gets better.

Sorry that you have a spring cold. Hope that you feel better soon.
Because of being outside more in the past few weeks, the days after mowing I would be more congested. The pollen levels have been high. Thankfully it hasn't developed into anything more serious other than just being annoying.

I have not mowed yet. I keep saying I will wear a mask to mow. I did get some congestion from mowing.

That's a shame. Vince seems to get a cold every time we go away.
