1. Stop posting. Go to sleep. |
|
Drink plenty of fluids, etc, etc. Everything your doctor/mother tells you to do.
Rest and a healthy immune system will get you better, not vibes.

DayQill usually works wonders for me - as does Claritan D (or the Generic) - I know it's for allergies, but it really helps w/ me.

I don't do well with Day, Ny Quill.
I'm taking Advil COld and Sinus. It usually does well for me. Now, I'm having a tea from Dunkin Donuts.

3. I'll be thinking about you |
|
I get bad sinus infections, so I know your pain.
Get some rest when you get home.

Yeah, it has been a very topsy turvy schedule recently.
Needless to say, I didn't feel too bad when I passed right out in my 4 hour short story class this morning - the coffee bar was closed, I was doomed :cry:

11. I think I just really need to sleep it off |
|
I can't wait to crawl into bed and just relax. I slept most of the afternoon before work. I think I slept too much. Woke up and just didnt have any motivation.
Now I'm having a tea from D&D took some drugs. I hope that does it.

10. The only thing worse than being sick is |
|
being at work and being sick. May the night pass swiftly for you and may you get home, load up on cold medicine, hit the hay, and get up feeling better tomorrow.

have you ever tried oolong (sp?) tea? I heard it is supposed to be better than green tea. I bought a box a couple of months ago and loved it.

25. I drink quite a bit of tea |
|
I've enjoyed lots of different types of Green tea. This morning - I had Earl Gray Green Tea. I like Oolong and English Breakfast Tea.
In summertime, I use the Celestial Seasons and make fun Iced Teas - like mango tea + Blueberry tea = mango/blueberry iced tea. And Red Zinger is fun - I'll add another flavor - like lemon or cranberry.
This way, I get to drink all the fluids I'm supposed to drink and it tastes better than plain water.

I know, lots of people I know are sick.
I missed work yesterday (I have plenty of sick time left and the year is done this week) but I felt like I needed to go in tonight. It's really busy.
Please get better! I don't know what is best for bronchitis, I never had it but follow the doctors orders and get some rest.

30. I have no sick time yet. |
|
I just started two weeks ago. When it rains, it pours. What has helped is Mr Belle was kind enough to beat me. Before anyone freaks out though, he's a respiratory therapist and the "beating me" is actually chest physical therapy to help me cough it up and keep it out of my lungs.

26. I am congested & achy too |
|
And I have no sick time left.
On your way home, stop at the store & get some Cold Eeze zinc drops. It's not too late for them to work their magic. They are great!!!
