Typical

It never fails - the minute my body realizes I have some downtime and can relax, my immune system goes on vacation and I get sick.

I've spent all of spring break so far wheezing and coughing and not getting the sleep I was so looking forward to because it's pretty hard to sleep when you can't breathe.

My life right now.

I have a doctor's appointment today, so hopefully if it's anything more than a cold I'll get some medicine for it. I've avoided starting my prednisone thus far, but we'll see what the doctor says. Fingers crossed that I'm feeling better by Friday, when I fly out to Atlanta for the ASCD Conference.

The worst part about being sick is that I can't run through it. I'm not sure if this is just an asthmatics thing, but I can't run to clear my chest. I literally can hardly breathe just sitting on the couch, so I know running is out of the question. But we got one last little cold front this week and I had to miss out on enjoying it because I can't breathe.

"A little pissy" is an understatement.

Really, really annoying.

Even the arm/abs challenge Michelle is hosting this week is too much for me at the moment. It just really sucks that a little cold can have such extreme consequences just because I have asthma on top of it.

Anyway, just checking in. I hope you all are having a good week!

What's your favorite cold remedy?
I'm in need of a good book to read on my trip - recommend me something!
