I think I'm getting sick...
I have a sore throat and my normally fucked up nose is more fucked up than normal. My right ear hurts and I'm really tired, even though I took a long nap, and I have no appetite.

This sucks. Not only is my Labor Day a likely total washout, but I'll be sick too. I never get sick. I haven't had a cold in almost two years.

3. VITAMIN C! VITAMIN C! VITAMIN C!
HOT BATH! VITAMIN C! SLEEP, HOT BATH, VITAMIN C!

DO IT WHILE IT STILL CAN HELP!

AND USE ALL CAPS!
:P

Seriously though Vitamin C rocks. That and hot baths. But those always rock.

Please make me feel better and while you're at it get rid of this whole tropical storm thing. It's really going to interfere with the beach this weekend.

34. you probably have sinus problems too,
when this weather comes, I am usually lethargic because of the barometric pressure. My head feels like a brick, that is why I drink so much water.

I live in MD, we have have had hurricane clouds for 3 days, only sprinkles of rain.

Tomorrow will be all rain here.

The weather has been super nice, kind of cloudy, breeze, and NO HOT

39. Yeah, I almost always have a stuffy nose, but I'm used to that.
I'm allergic to mold, grass, and trees. Here it's been cold and rainy all week. It feels like October. The other night it was in the 40s and today we didn't hit 60 until around 2pm.

13. I'm taking Wellness, which is like Airborne pretty much.
I'm mostly just pulling a Matcom and complaining about being sick.

21. My colds tend to be very short.
However, I almost never get them, so I act like a baby for the whole duration.

28. Thanks.
I'm taking Wellness which covers all of three of those things (I highly recommend the stuff). I'll probably feel fine tommorow or the day after.

38. Actually, even for my pill-popping self...
I treat colds totally naturally. I don't even take anything for a fever. I just load up on immune system stuff and my colds usually last only 2-3 days and I'm totally fine again. And I almost never get sick.

30. Yeah, I haven't had a cigarette since this morning.
That's the best way to tell whether or not I feel crappy. No cigarettes or alcohol means I feel like crap.

Beh! x(

My throat is bad, but it's the chills that are bothering me the most. I'm hoping I'll be over it by the weekend. Hopefully you will be, too.
