I've got that pre-cold feeling in my nose. And when I cough it feels like my lungs are full of sulphur dioxide.

I think I've got a cold coming on too. sad yes

Oh you lucky people. This winter maybe, a flu will send me back down to a size 8. I have a Balmain shirt/jacket I was repulsed to find I couldn’t do up the buttons of after the pandemic. Cost a fortune and always got appreciative attention.

I hadn’t noticed, and since then I’ve tried a few other tighter things to find the same thing going on up top. I have never been overly t*tty, and that appears to have changed. I have unwanted visions of becoming Pat Butcher in old age.

Do what I do: If you think (for a picosecond) that you might be 'coming down with something', then tell yourself in no uncertain terms, that YOU ARE NOT!

Works every time.

Cos that's why I've not had a cold since 1995 cos of auto-subliminal bullying.

Yes, almost 30 years.

Before that I was a snotty, sneezing mess.

It's called self-hypnosis and it f*cking works.

JUST SAY NO!!

Does it work in reverse?

I keep saying yes.

I've been sneezing and wheezing all morning.

Mine hasn't developed any further. I hope it makes its mind up, I have to go to Ireland on Monday.

Ooh it's developed quite a lot this morning. But I think I can handle the ferry journey anyway.

We’re getting the tail end of the American weather. You should’ve flown. The MV Princess Victoria is all I will say.

That came up in my research before I made my first trip. I always spend the voyage alertly patrolling the upper viewing deck.

by cosmictanya Mon 7 Oct 2024 - 23:41

Quite right too. I’d have been on that top deck throughout. Although the lifeboats didn’t save half the people who got into them.

by Fangirl Three Mon 28 Oct 2024 - 20:08

I definitely have a cold-y feeling in my chest and throat.

It's gone now.

Which I ought to be pleased about, I suppose.

It came back yesterday evening, but now it's gone again.

This is a bit exciting - I feel unsteady. I’d forgotten the feeling. Fuzzy discomfort, low headache, taste and smell blending into something more like nothing. It might go nowhere but I think I might be in for a week or two of hell. It’s possible I’ll be glowing and comfortably fit back into that bit of tight but too pricy to write off Balmain for my birthday. Or be dead.
