Yes, autumn is definitely here. It's getting colder now and soon it will be time to dig out the winter woolies and the blankets. In a way I am sad to see the sun go; for the nights to get longer and the mornings darker. But I do love this time of year; cosy nights and crisp cold days.
I am not loving the cold and flu season much however. I had to come home early from work today because I have a cold coming. My throat is so sore I can't swallow and my head is getting to that stage where it feels like it's full of cotton wool. I have a horrible feeling that I am going to wake up tomorrow feeling like crap and I have my first day of school tomorrow....typical right?! The timing is perfect!
I found this post on Fun. Fit. Chic. Some advice on treating colds: Cold and Flu fighting season.
I usually know when a cold is coming. I tend to feel tired and lethargic for a few weeks beforehand, then the sore throat starts. The advice seems to be at this stage to stock up on vitamin C and echinacea, drink plenty to avoid dehydration and gets lots of rest. Some chicken soup wouldn't go amiss either. Lets face it, I'm not going to be short of veggies now! :-)
