Just this year alone, I have gotten a cold twice already.  That’s more than the total number of  times in the last 4 years for me.  People at work have been sick a lot; every week there  is coughing, sneezing, congestion going on somewhere. I have been eating more apples and oranges but still no use.

I am feeling sick again today.  I took a sick day last week. I was so groggy that it took me 15 minutes to type two sentences to the manager.  Today I was a bit less groggy but still really tired.  My body is achy and sore.  I could feel a sore throat developing.  I was congested the whole night before that I could hardly sleep.  But tomorrow there is more training, and then the China trip.  I really hope I don’t get detained for quarantine…

New items adding to my to-bring list to China: Airborne, anti-bacterial wipes of some type, pain killer, cold medicine…  I might end up bringing my whole medicine cabinet with me.
