I just had the oddest thought...I'm fighting off a bug!
Suddenly it all makes sense!

Really unusually tired...

LONG naps, much longer than usual...

And a faintly sore throat when I get up from any sleeping...

Weird. I normally have an iron-clad constitution...

I wondered what was going on.

Ah, I'll be OK. It's just so strange to be even a little sick!

NO, I'm not pregnant, lol!


:hi:

1. That's exactly what happens to me when I'm fighting something.
Sleep really does the trick.

3. My dear crim son!
Ah, you too?

I'm just not used to it. So, sleep I will, till it's gone, hopefully soon.

Thanks!

2. Don't know about CA, but seems like everyone in PA is sick!
There is a cold virus going around--- and a lot of people have it. It's a nasty bug!

Hope you keep on fighting, Peggy! :hug: Feel better, soon!

(P.S. When I read your topic, I thought you meant a really large insect! hahaha)

5. My dear femmocrat!
Sorry to hear about PA...

Ah, not to worry...I'll be fine. I am functional, more or less, lol!

Just a bit slower than usual.

Thanks, sweetie!

48. Mucinex and Claritin seem to help, with whatever you take for pain for
the sinuses.

Good luck.
Berks county, PA.

4. I woke up sick on Thursday ...
I get tired, and INCREDIBLY irritable. Still feel like sh*t. Just a head cold, but a really nasty one, and my poor nose (in spite of liberal application of neosporin) is raw.

Hope you feel better soon, Peggy! :hi:

I get that same feeling when I come down with something and I'm like you - never sick.

Take it easy now.

Because broadswords just make a mess of everything and wear you out in the process.

24. I do not know what your problem is.
I fully realize there are many folks here with a lot worse problems than mine. The point of my thread was not to ask for vibes or anything like that, but to merely comment on how I'm feeling.

You have a problem with that, then I suggest you hide the thread, or put me on ignore.

26. it wouldn't matter if you did ask for vibes
I don't see this group of people attacking others who have minor problems and come to share/commiserate. What have you done you evil woman? Are your signature "My Dear"s some kind of slur in another language? Is your kindness in virtually every post you ever make some kind of secret attack that only assholes can detect? I don't get it.

Bah, going to bed before I get in trouble. I hope you fell better, and I hope people all over the world can achieve health, comfort, happiness and satisfaction. And I hope the constipated can find some relief.

Not sore throat but upset stomach; somewhat feverish. Haven't been 'sick' in MANY years, and don't like it one bit!

Probably didn't catch it from you, Peggy, as we're a bit removed from one another, eh?

and in my various stages of nap/sleep/'recover,' I've thought of you and your bug!
