I so hate having a damn head cold.
First the sore throat, and the yuck feeling in the head. Then the achy, then the nap, then the can't sleep because I took the nap.
And the too hot to sleep, now too cold to sleep, in between there was more aching and a hot bath

at least I don't have a job right now so I can just be sick in peace and not have to account to anyone but the kittehs, who are quite comforting.

why do naps provide the best sleep in the world and then mess you up so you can't sleep when you are supposed to ?

1. No! You too?
Just upper respiratory for me....for now. Just got over this a month ago. Could be allergies, but I feel like crap!

I also haven't a job.

3. I think mine started with allergies, my eye doctor was looking at my eyes today
and said they look allergy irritated. She gave me some drops I can put on my contacts and an allergy eye drop to use when lenses are not in.

this no job thing is just no fun.

4. My Polish Remedy
I cup of hot milk, warmed on the stove. Melt in a tablespoon of butter, then add a jigger of dark rum.
Poor baby.
When I get sick, it's terrible. I still have to take care of the two littl'uns, and try not to pass it on to them. And cold medications don't do anything for me, except make me nervous and "super fast heartbeaty".
Feel better soon.

5. thank you. I took a Mucinex a while ago and have consumed two large bottles of water
since.

I am not bedridden or anything just uncomfortable and still haven't slept. I gave up about 6 am and made breakfast and had coffee and watched "Ghostbusters"

at least the movie was fun.
