I am sick. And miserable.
Headache, fever, congestion, body aches, chills. And this year I finally got a flu shot. Oh well.

It can't last forever. I rarely get sick. Thank goodness as I am a total wimp.

I would love to be able to sleep non stop until it's over. Sadly, I have to work.

I'm really sorry to hear this. Sometimes I think that we get sick because otherwise we take things for granted... We get a huge reminder of our mortality when we're sick... I hope your illness passes quickly and completely... Taking care of yourself will surely help, sweetie... :hug:

8. It's true, we appreciate health when we have been without it for a bit.
I was just saying the other day that spring would not be as wonderful if it didn't come after winter.

10. Take a long hot bath while sipping hot peppermint tea, go to bed early with the heat up
and lots of blankets, and get professional medical advice if you're not better pronto

I was sick last week and into the weekend. Bronchitis and flu, and I have not been so sick in years. Best wishes for you to feel better soon!

22. Actually feel measurably better tonight.
And plan to sleep in tomorrow so that's a plus. I was worried I was working on pneumonia, but I think I have turned the corner. :-)
