I think Im getting sick....

Yesterday Morning I took my Claritin D 12 cause I was extra sniffly and have been for a few days. Anyway.. all through the work hours my throat felt 'tight' and achy. Not good. Plus even though I was on Claritin I was still sneezy sniffly.

Last Night I got home and took Nyquil after a bowl of Creamy Tomato soup (which may my throat feel better for a bit) I was out like a light in about 30 to 45mins. Woke up this morning semi-groggy.

At work today, here I am. My throat feels like it has been lined with pepper. I really didn't feel like having lunch but I KNOW I have to eat so I had a grilled cheese sandwich on Rye with a bowl of Chicken noodle soup.

I feel icky groggy. I hope it's just the Nyquil. I promised to volunteer for a children's holiday thing we are throwing here at the office tomorrow and I really don't want to be sick for Xmas.

*sigh*

I'm home sick with the flu. I feel your pain. Drink plenty of fluids and get rest when you get home. If you have a fever, go to the doctor and see what it is.

Feel better! Just don't overdo it. I know you want to help the children, but if you are sick, the only thing you will be giving them for Xmas are your germs

Go rest

i'm home sick with the flu, too. i also started with a sore throat and a lot of stuffiness. definitely rest and drink lots of liquids (although all i can stomach is plain water - juices are making me very nauseous!!)

Re: I think Im getting sick....

Well I feel guilty I volunteered and may have to back out.

So far my duties are to 'tag' the children and pass out goodie bags.

I think however I may just write up the wrist bands and pass them on to my coworker whose helping me and have her put them on the children and then have the last woman pass out the goodie bags.

I know I know I do too much. I just can't help myself. Im charitable to begin with and this time of year I always feel an extra push to find more ways to help. Feel like some people take their lives for granted and the things they get and the health we have and the simple things we don't even notice. So many are out there who don't want anything but a day way from drama. If I can do something to help make that happen I try. I'll admit I think i've tried a little too hard this year. But I PROMISE Tomorrow is my last gig for charity this year.
