Got a cold from hubby, who got it from his colleague, who has been coughing for 2-3 weeks since he returned from the Bay Area for the New Year. On Monday it was very uncomfortable, and I had a hard time sleeping because of sinus headache. On Tuesday I thought it was getting better, but then on Wed. it was lot of cough, and hubby had a low fever. Today my whole front rib cage hurts because of all the cough.
Thanks to our nice neighbor family, we still had a nice dinner (they make 3 dishes and we do too) for Chinese New Year's Eve -- they made ribs, buns (mutton, red bean, and black bean fillings), and northern Chinese cabbage; we made Chinese red pepper chicken on tofu sheets and cucumber, pearl balls (vege meatballs wrapped in glutinous rice), and pan fried red bell pepper with corn.
Today I've been coughing and rib cage hurting that I could not do much. I wear a cotton mask that covers my nose and mouth so I don't cough on people, which is what my hubby believes his colleague should have done, asked him to but this guy didn't. The preschooler's teacher really appreciated that I did it.
On the plus side of this, the kids came home and had to make their own afternoon snacks with a cup of water; firstgrader made a jam sandwich and had a banana with it, and the preschooler got plates for some vege chips with a clementine. Usually I had to get all these things upon their request, but because today I'm a germ bearer they have to do it themselves, and they did really well!
I've been drinking warm water with citron honey, squeezed lemon juice, raspberry juice and honey. Who can tell me when this cough will end at all??
