I've been sick for a week boohoo!

And I am feeling really tired of the whole wretched mess- splitting sinus headache, coughing fits, stuffy nose agrravation! I've taken Dayquil,Ibuprofin, Benadryl...nothing is working.
I will never get all my papers read for next week, so the poor dears will have to wait another week. I normally have a strict 1 -week turnaround but I FEEL LIKE CRAP!:( I've slogged through 12 but there's no way I can read the other 10 and still do all the other work I have left
I still have to put together lectures for four class, create a test and a midterm, it goes on an don....boohoo poor pitiful me :sadcrying

Maybe the fact that I up and quit taking my Prozac and Welbutrin very recently is making the cold feel worse. I was sick of the side effects those drugs have, and after more than a decade on them, I wanted a break. Hopefully I will shake all this misery soon. Anyway, I just needed to vent - sigh, cough, sniff

shit that sucks, please tell me you blazed?

try... sudafed?

asile 5

Awwww that's wretched. I swear by echinacea. I take the capsules, and drink echinacea tea with zinc and vitamin c in it. The old man and I were both spitting nasty green goo last week, but since doing our nightly tea and a smoke ritual, we're breathing easy.

Hot toddy and a bowl of chicken soup Sweety!!!

Call me in the morning...

I hope you feel well soon!!!

dont forget the tater salad

Awww...

Whenever my mom is sick (she's an English teacher) I always grade her papers for her. I'd be happy to help :D

Good luck with feeling better <3

So sorry you're under the weather, Demeter. Practically everyone I know right now is sick, either with the flu, which is at epidemic levels here in the Dallas area right now, a cold/sore throat, or a stomach bug. One of my oldest friends was supposed to meet me for lunch today but had to cancel because she has the same thing you do.

Rest and feel better!

Aren't you nice! I'm tempted to send them your way;)
Visiting you guys makes me feel better!

I hope you feel better soon! I think I'm starting to get sick. I've been really tired lately.

Birdgirl- thank you and I hope you are also on the mend! My beautiful niece was born with a heart defect and has had two surgeries- but what her heart lacks in physical strength is made up in pure kindness, and the same is true for you!
Samwhore, I didn't have tater salad (I know this must be a euphemism;) but my hubby made tacos and now I can at least breathe! I've had to vap since smoking hurts.
Mrs. G thanks for reminding me, I think I have some chewable echinachea, and though it tastes nasty, I will do whatever to shake this beast!
Nap869- take some Airbourne at the first sign and keep taking it (I ran out, and suffered the consequences)- this is not something you want to get!

And Skink- you look positively presidential! I heard you are a mod now-ya know, I like the idea of you keeping an eye on us- we can be so naughty sometimes!

what?!


I forgive you

Mmmmmmmmmmm...tacos........

I LOVE tacos. In fact, I'm going to go to Taco Time today and get a .99cent taco. Hell yeah! :p

Colds suck though. I'm getting over one but it was light of a cold that it didn't even slow me down.

Keep in mind that cold medicines are made to relieve the symptoms and doesn't cure anything. Also, taking too many medicines can just make your cold even worse. :)

I don't bother with cold medicines. The best thing to do is just get some rest, and drink plenty of water. :)

Good luck on your paper. I'll be in college in spring, so I'll have that to look forward too. :p
