Something hit me last night that I wasn’t a huge fan of. I was at work enjoying my time there when I suddenly started to get sneezy and have some issues with my throat. Every time I went to give an orientation my throat was more and more scratchy and unfortunately we didn’t have any cough drops to help me out. So as the night went on it started to get difficult to keep up with the sneezing. Every twenty minutes I was back in the bathroom sneezing my brains out. I just couldn’t keep up and It was so frustrating to have it happening when there was only a few hours left until we were closed. 

I go to the bathroom to sneeze and when I came back I get sent home because of how I sound (which according to the owner was like ****) so I apologized and went home. Let me say that the rest of the night was hell. I was sneezing, coughing, having trouble swallowing, and so on. It was really quite an issue to have and it sucked to be in that situation and not be able to make it go away. For the entire night I just keep trying over and over to make things better and every few hours I was up taking more cough drops and drinking water like I was in the desert. 

Even as I sit here typing  this article I can say that most of the sickness is gone but unfortunately I still have a very dry throat. Which of course means that I will be eating cough drops like a champ all day today. I’m not sure where this crazy sneezing attack came from but I will gladly give it to someone else in exchange for my ability to breathe again. 

Have you been getting sick this year?
