I'm super sick.....

and feel all miserable. I can't stop sneezing and I feel like my throat is full of daggers. I took the day off work today but I don't think I can tomorrow even though I want to. The other lady in my station is sick too and off and the other guy has a scheduled day off and the fourth guy is new, so I think I have to go. I'm having a little pity sickiepoo moment. I can't even sleep cuz I can't breathe and I have a headache again. I hate being sick!

Feel better! Lemon and honey in hot water for your throat? That helps me.

aw, ((((zen))). Take care of yourself. Lots of crud making the rounds. Remember to drink lots of water and juice. See if you can manage some chicken soup. Can you have it delivered from the deli? can a friend drop some off for you? This is a good reason to keep some emergency cans of soup stashed with some oyster crackers.

also, try some nice lemon juice and honey in some hot water, like a tea. It helps! Try a soup full of honey for your throat.

get well soon!

Love from Lenina

Sorry to hear that, zen. Stay bundled up and try to rest. Maybe tomorrow will be better.

(((Zen))) Second the lemon and honey. And, it might sound strange, but I also add a little dash of tabasco too if my throat hurts.

Hope you feel better soon!!

Hope you feel better soon. Touch wood, been around 6 years since I had a cold.

I eat one clove of garlic a day.

Aw, Zen, I'm really sorry you feel so bad. There is some nasty stuff going around and it sounds like it's got you.

Try to rest, even if you can't sleep, and see how you feel in the morning.
