Obviously, I'm at death's door

Woke up with a cold this morning.

Cold + mystery illness + lack of sleep + rain = I'm at death's door, clearly.

Pretty sure I sound like a pack a day smoker and look like a someone recovering from an all night bender (and nooooo, I was not at the U2 concert last night, I was in class--you can even ask my professor...hmm, maybe that's why our class was so small?).

And yes, I was told "gosh, you don't look so good". Thanks, I'm aware, I don't need the reminder.

Sheesh.

Off to drink some TheraFlu.

If I'm not back tomorrow it's because the TheraFlu killed me--seriously, that stuff is nast.

(but, TheraFlu nastiness can be cured with an overdose of Candy Corn, which I fully intend to partake in this evening)

Hey! You're adorable first off, second....what are the symptoms of your mystery illness? I was sick for 5+ years on and off....then I found out it due to panic disorder. It would cause me to throw up, shake til my muscles ached and pretty much camp out in the bathroom (all the while feeling soo sick to my stomach I would want to cry)...so not pretty...!!

I hope you feel better! I hate when I am sick and people tell me I look like crap. I'm fully aware of that, thanks.

My cure for everything:

new handbag + fuzzy PJs and socks + nap on the couch with dog/cat + multiple episodes of Gossip Girl (or Grey's Anatomy or 90210 or Dawson's Creek or Gilmore Girls, etc.) + husband bringing home unhealthy take-out food + chocolate chip cookies + Tylenol PM = better

Hope you're better soon! Let me know if you want to borrow Mally to cuddle with. She's pretty good at making anyone feel better.

Feel Better! Do I need to send Winston over there to give you sloppy wet 'get better soon' kisses?

Seriously, I gagged on TheraFlu the last time I needed to swallow some down. You have my sympathies, and empathies, cuz I'm coming down with a nasty germ myself. Although currently it's residing in my upper respiratory, not my lower. Ick, ack, uck.
Hoping we both feel better soon!
Watch some Rachel Zoe Project -- always makes ME feel better. :)

I recommend lots of white tea. It always does the trick for me.

Girl! I have two remedies for you!
1) Garlic popcorn: Either use a garlic press or finely, finely chop a clove of garlic, mix with olive oil and salt to make a paste, and mix it with a bag of freshly popped popcorn. Garlic (raw) heals every throat sicky thing imaginable. Do it before bed, that way you can sleep while it works away and you won't kill anyone at 10 paces with your breath. Cause I know from experience, wow.

2) Ginger bath. Warm bath, a couple tablespoons of powdered ginger, and a cup of tea. Again, before bed because you'll get out woozy (ginger stimulates your blood and lymph circulation, and so it helps you flush out illnesses...) but make sure you drink that tea, cause it'll dehydrate you if not! And, it'll help your owy parts from running.

Just thoughts! But I swear they work :)
