I finally managed to get a full, decent night's sleep. I had a humidifier 2 feet from my head all night, but it helped. I still feel the cold lingering but not as bad as yesterday. Yesterday the couch started. You know that little tickle in the back of your throat that even when you cough won't go away and you try to fix it by spending the day sucking down cough drops and lozenges? Yeah, that one. Lots of fun while trying to teach too.
My class went well. 15 students, no major issues. Most of them had no problem following along with the material or keeping up. Only issue a couple of times was some people had slow machines. But they weren't mad at me about it. They knew the issue was on their end and not something I was doing poorly. Fair enough. I had to repeat a couple of things, but not too much. They were all empathetic to my cold issue too because they could hear that my voice was strained. Talking all day was definitely a chore for me.
I took a nap after class which helped. Not much else for the rest of the night. I didn't go anywhere. Ate my leftovers for dinner, watched some tv including a great BBC show called Christmas 77 with the Sex Pistols which was a sort of documentary showing how they had been banned that year and the secret concerts they had to put on. It was a mix of new interviews and old footage. Was kind of cool.
Played some video games and went to bed around 10. I did take a bath around 8 to steam and sweat out the nasties in my body. I think that helped too. I had planned on maybe going downtown this weekend but if I am not feeling 100% by tomorrow then fuck that. I don't need a relapse. I want to be healthy before Monday. Not only does B come home, but I have an onsite with Kaiser about 20 miles away I have to do. I don't want to pass out on them in person. Remotely fine, just not in person. So I need my strength.
Today I will work on server documents, then tomorrow is a day of rest.
