Well, it’s official. I’ve got a cold. It’s my own fault; I got cocky. See, so far I’ve managed to fight off all bouts of the sniffles, headaches, and preliminary aches and pains; got a little extra rest and fluids each time and that killed it. I had one sinus infection but you know those, once you get the antibiotics you’re good to go. And the kid also has only been officially sick two times since he was born. So I was overconfident. I was brash. I’ve been around all sorts of sickies thinking, “Hey I’m invincible, I’ve got the best immune system in the world ‘cause I haven’t gotten sick once, woo hoo!”
See how karma bites you in the ass for being smug? (dorkgirl) Now my face feels like a swarm of imps are kicking me from the inside out. Luckily, Chance seems to be doing fine. I’d really like to be sleeping but I’ve also got a work deadline. So meet my new best friends: heavy medication. – wg
Airborne – get some – it’s great. And swallow garlic, raw. It’ll keep the men with long pubic hairs away AND you’ll feel better. 🙂
Once you get sick, there’s not much you can do…You swallow garlic, it’ll keep EVERYONE away.
I hope you feel better soon.
LOL! That’s what I get for making a pube comment on someone else’s site! (I know Phoenix is probably confused.)
Oh KNQ, be careful with that garlic now. It’s ANOTHER thing you have to restrict when you’re pregnant.
Airborne is great if you think you are on the verge of getting sick or if you have to spend time in a closed environment with a bunch of sickys. I’ve found that once I’m sick, the quickest way to get better is zinc lozenges. Zinc is awesome. …And I just like saying “lozenges.”
teehee and don’t you take away my garlic… LOL
You can’t have garlic when you’re pregnant? When did they come up with THAT one? Why? And man am I glad they weren’t saying that when I was pregnant! I was a spice-of-all kind fiend when I was pregnant.
I don’t remember where I read it, but I’ll try to find it. The garlic thing was something about don’t take large amounts of it because it could possibly lead to easier bleeding… something like that. I often take garlic pills (they’re great for controlling yeast infections and the like – is that TMI again?) so I just stopped taking the garlic pills because they are pretty concentrated. I DID NOT cut it out of my diet. (Are you kidding? I’m married to an Italian for god’s sake!) Of course, I think a lot of these warnings you have to take with a grain of salt. So many of them are linked to “studies imply” messages, as compared to “studies [definitively] show” that particular things (like lunchmeat) can be harmful.
hey girl. im glad to see you and knq have gotten hooked up!!!
she’s my girls girl. lol.
i hope you get to feeling better sista!

I’m sick too. Seems to be the great plague of 2006. Half my crew at work is sick, and about 2/3 of the company has come down with something in the past 3 months.
It’s going around big time – most of my store has been down and out. I, in the meantime, am washing my hands like a fiend. Mmm…. Purell. Rest up, drink fluids, and GET HEALTHY!
