getting sick

I'm getting a really bad cold, and I hate it!

I especially hate that I have the type of job where it's really difficult to take off unless I'm absolutely non-functioning.

This morning, I got a giant bag of cough drops (half gone), vitamin c drops (also have gone), and a giant box of tissues - 1/3 gone!

I have zero appetite (hmmm, maybe a good thing? ) and a wicked headache from the sinus pressure.

I just broke down and took some tylenol flu (non-drowsy). I avoid that OTC stuff because it makes me loopy - regular or non-drowsy. It makes me really spacey.

I also have to give a presentation tomorrow. I hope I can get through it without sneezing or having to blow my nose... I'm supposed to do a dry run with someone in a couple hours, so hopefully the tylenol flu will have kicked in by then - and will not have worn off, yet.

Ugh, I hope I can get out of the office at a decent time tonight so I can lie on the couch and do nothing. FH has class after work tonight, so if I'm home early, I'll have a couple hours of quiet...

I'm such a bad patient - In case you couldn't tell, being sick makes me WHINE!

Awe sweetie feel better!! Everyone is sick..thankfully not me just yet. There was this one woman on the subway this morning hacking her brains out and wasn't covering her mouth. I said it just loud enough for her to hear, 'Cover your mouth!!' I think her ears were clogged because she didnt even look up.



FEEL BETTER SOON!

Thanks, guys!

Don't worry - I promise I'm covering my mouth! that's really gross, especially on a crowded subway train!

Thank goodness I have my own office here so at least I'm containing my germs.

Yikes, I hope that was just a fluke! I'm glad you're not sick!

I hate throwing up! Oh boy, I hope that isn't going to be part of this illness! EEK!

That chicken soup sounds good, though...
