Selfish plea for energy

[Kookaburra]

I've got chest cold that is kicking me around pretty badly, and am in desperate need of some energy. Any you can spare would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

1. Prayers sent

Would you like to hear about some old-fashioned remedies?
I recommend hot lemonade with honey. It really helps to break up phlegm in the chest. I had a bad cold about a month ago and hot lemonade really helped me.

[Kookaburra]

3. Thanks -- I'll definitely try that

Just bought some lemons at the market a couple of days ago.

This one hit me fast. I was sniffly all day Friday, and thought it was allergies (those pink trees that always mess with me are in full bloom right now), but yesterday I couldn't get a deep breath, and today the congestion is bad.

I'm going to make some lemonade right now. The worst thing about a chest cold is I get so exhausted just doing something minor like feeding the cat.

2. It's not selfish to ask for help, Kookaburra.

I'm happy to send your way. :hug:

5. Thanks IHAD

Feeling pretty rotten -- I heard one of my guides say "just calm down and get some rest", so I'm guessing this is my body's way of making me stop and rest.

7. I second that :)

I'm delighted to send your way as well....:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

Feel better...keep us posted. :)

8. Thanks OGR

Haven't gotten sick this winter -- thought I was home free -- oh well.

4. You've got it.

Feel better soon.

A hot bath wouldn't hurt either.

[Kookaburra]

6. Oh yeah, hot water heater went out this a.m.

No hot water until I can get someone out here tomorrow.

Ugh!

Thanks so much for the energy Stella.

9. Good things are never selfish

Trying to hoard for oneself what one believes to be good things is selfish, but just plain good things, asked for, accepted, and shared? Never :)

[Kookaburra]

10. Thanks Oak

That's the truth, isn't it. I sometimes forget that.

11. Sending love and healing energy

your way. As I tell the kids, listen to your body (and guides :)) Sounds like some rest is in order.

[Kookaburra]

12. Thanks Sienna

It always surprises me just how often I forget to listen.

13. You've got mine, Kookaburra.

You're not being selfish at all! :hug:

[Kookaburra]

14. Thanks Kind of Blue

All this energy --I am starting to feel better.

15. Sending healing energy to you, Kookaburra.

16. But of course

Sending healing light now.

This "sudden" cold seems to be traveling quickly--my son came down with it last night, and you're right that it comes on out of nowhere. Around 4 p.m. he started sneezing one too many times for my peace of mind (I knew it wasn't just dust etc.), and by his bedtime he was snurfling so much I had to use nose spray on him so he could sleep peacefully. Add the time change to that (difficulty falling asleep), and I decided to keep him home from school today. I also got the message to have him "stop and rest", so I figured "an ounce of prevention" and all that--namely it'll prevent him from staying home more than one day later in the week.

Anyway, wrap yourself up in your favorite blankie and lounge around today, Kookaburra. Oh--and nap. Naps are always good. :) :hug:

Feel better soon, and of course see a doctor if required.

19. Thanks to everyone for the light and energy and well wishes

I finally broke down, after my second sleepless night, and saw the doc today. It's bronchitis, and a touch of pneumonia. Yikes!!!

I'm now on 4 different meds -- one of which makes me super duper loopy -- but at least I can breathe now.

The other good news? I've lost 5 pounds.

20. I am sorry, Kookaboora

Lots of healing vibes coming your way...

[Fire Walk With Me]

21. Make sure to follow the full course of medication.

Don't stop when you're (just) feeling better :)

22. Sending healing energies and a request that the Universe

surround you with comfort. Hope you're feeling better soon.

Here, have a cup of tea, dearie.
