I am sick. And miserable.
Headache, fever, congestion, body aches, chills. And this year I finally got a flu shot. Oh well.

2. Thank you very much.
It can't last forever. I rarely get sick. Thank goodness as I am a total wimp.

7. Sleep is the goal.
I would love to be able to sleep non stop until it's over. Sadly, I have to work.

6. My dear redwitch...
I'm really sorry to hear this. Sometimes I think that we get sick because otherwise we take things for granted...

We get a huge reminder of our mortality when we're sick...

I hope your illness passes quickly and completely...

Taking care of yourself will surely help, sweetie...

:hug:

8. It's true, we appreciate health when we have been without it for a bit.
I was just saying the other day that spring would not be as wonderful if it didn't come after winter.

10. Take a long hot bath while sipping hot peppermint tea, go to bed early with the heat up
and lots of blankets, and get professional medical advice if you're not better pronto

I was sick last week and into the weekend. Bronchitis and flu, and I have not been so sick in years.

Best wishes for you to feel better soon!

19. Not this whiskey.
Cheap stuff for whiskey sours and flu season. My grandmother used to put whiskey in tea fro us when we were sick years ago. No nyquil way back then.

22. Actually feel measurably better tonight.
And plan to sleep in tomorrow so that's a plus. I was worried I was working on pneumonia, but I think I have turned the corner.
