Crap, I am so sick.
Headache, sore throat, swollen glands in my neck, joint pain and the sort of stomach troubles you don't want to hear about. Once the kids head off to school I'm going back to bed. Dammit I despise being sick, especially when I have so much to do. :grr:

2. Thank you Maine-ah.
I hope I do because I have a full weekend planned, a showing on Sunday, and I fly out of here on Monday for a visit home. Bad timing.

8. Thank you joneschick.
I've taken the advil and feel better except for my stomach. I'm going to shower and see if I can pull together the energy to do a little housework. I don't mind sitting around when it's optional but Hate it when I am forced to so so. :hi:

10. Aww
That sounds awful, crim son. :hug:

The MG family has been sick for more than a week as well--sounds similar--no tummy troubles, thank goodness, but headaches, sneezing, drippy noses, joint pain, major fatigue, and for the piece de resistance, it's all topped with a lovely serving of pink eye for everyone! Wheeeee! x(

Anyway, here's some healing mojo for you. Feel better soon!

14. OMG, I haven't looked in the mirror.
My eyes are sore... I wonder if they are also pink. I accept your healing mojo and return some to you, for your family. Let's all get better soon. :)

19. Oh dear I hope not
Conjunctivitis is the WORST. DH looked like something out of a horror movie--skipped pink and went straight to all red--he had no whites at all for several days! :scared:

Thanks for the return mojo--I sure could use it--just caved and went to the doctor--I have a sinus infection AND bronchitis! Jackpot! :crazy:

12. Hubby is just getting over that. It's bad, but short duration.
3 days approximately. Feel better, it is a wretched one. :hug:

15. If you can get a Coke Slurpee, it can help settle your tummy woes
Coke syrup is used in the machine that makes the slurpee, and that syrup is good for helping settle down a wayward stomach and "other" malaise.
Or try sipping ginger ale.

You WILL be better before your trip. Just be sure to keep yourself hydrated and don't let electrolytes get too low :hug:

16. I'm sorry to hear it, crim son.
As I tell my kids, "Everyone gets sick, once in a while. It's part of having a Body." :D

Hang in there and remember: This, too, shall pass...... :hug:

Think of this time as a gift from the Universe to slooooooow down and take care of yourself.

Focus on BEing and not on DOing. :thumbsup:
