breathing is overrated

I am doing so much better since my 3 week long cold. I am taking Zyrtec - it finally is available over the counter - and since I have been taking it again, it seems my coughing has been better. I still have a little problem first thing in the morning.

Well today I forgot to take it in the morning, but I didn't even think of it because I was doing okay, except for the coughing spell first thing in the morning. I took some cough medicine for that. Tonight Dave and I ran up to the grocery store to get some necessities. I was going to go alone, but Dave offered to drive and I took him up on his offer, which I am glad I did. As soon as I walked out the door my lungs tightened up and started wheezing and coughing. I was able to go to the store, but I was glad Dave was driving. As soon as I got home I grabbed my inhaler (which I haven't had to use in a long time) and remembered that I hadn't taken the Zyrtec. I am still wheezing a bit, but it is getting better. Needless to say, breathing is overrated.
