So this week I've gotten a cold and been quite unwell. The joys of having a cold and having stuff to do, is an actual nightmare. I got it from my lovely niece who I babysit daily and take to nursery most mornings, so naturally if anyone was going to become ill after her it was always destined to be me, and it always is. When you're feeling crap and annoyed because of a cold you sit sorrowful reminiscing the times you didn't feel like shit. So today I give you 4 reasons why colds are the worst
1) Runny nose - oh boy how annoying you're constantly snuffling, wiping at your nose every 30 seconds it's god awful. Not to mention the amount of tissues you go through, I've taken to keeping a full role of super soft toilet roll in my backpack, not even kidding it's annoying going back and forth to the toilets to get tissues when your many little packs run out. It's awkward having toilet paper but it saves me energy, the little energy I have during this sad time. I refuse to blow my nose in public places, so I have to suffer and sniffle all day long till I'm alone in my room, this is because personally I think it's disgusting, the sound and the whole process makes me feel sick I don't want anyone else to endure that.
2) You're always tired - you can never feel good whilst having a cold like never. You're always feeling crap. You just want to sleep all day buried in your nice warm bed, but no amount of sleep is enough. I know this because for the past three nights I've went to sleep at 8PM and woke up about half six, I was just as tired and felt worse. But sleeping isn't even an easy task during the cold, you're constantly wiping your nose, trying to find a position that will stop snot running down your face (I found lying on your back with your head titled back usually work even though super uncomfortable) plus you can only breathe through your mouth. Lucky for me I don't have a partner or someone who shares room with me, because damn having a blocked nose sure makes you snore.
3) always cold or too hot - the temperature of your body is always different to everyone whose well. For instance in a classroom everyone will be hot and I'm shivering with my coat on. Or at night I'll wear a hoodie to sleep because I'm freezing with a double blanket on yet mid sleep I'll be super hot and have to take my hoodie off and then wow look freezing again, it's an endless cycle. Or how my sister ran my what she called a 'lovely hot bath' I got in yeah felt lukewarm like sure it made my skin red but it didn't feel hot at all.
4) Waste of food - by far the worst part of the whole having a cold process, your taste buds just fail you. You can taste a single thing, everything tastes the same it's god awful. My sister and her fiance made my favourite food Spaghetti from scratch, mushrooms and all and I couldn't taste a thing. I was deeply upset, I am a huge lover of food like obviously I am, it's just sad not being able to taste the goodness of it.
Those are my 4 reasons of why having a cold is the worst. If you have any other reason you hate a cold or some over thing then comment and let me know about it!
