Success in finding "cold remedies" to get me through......

These will be my "best friends" over the next few days ( I hope NOT longer!):

A hot beverage of lemon, fresh ginger, and honey comb- with a "fizzy" Vitamin C thrown in......... and look! I found Hall's lemon throat lozenges today - yes!
I am beginning a 6-day "holiday" as my students write their Mid Term Exams. I have not booked for Nanjing yet, trying to figure out how bad this cold will be. Hopefully, tomorrow, I'll know better. I also have a "karaoke night" with colleagues ( both Chinese and /foreign teachers) tomorrow in the French  Concession. Will go to that even if I'm dying- just won't "breathe" on anyone....
