That's too bad that you got it. I hate being sick. maybe you will get over it quicker...I think you will, zink and vit c (that's why the lemon water works good, it's more absorb able being a liquid). If it's the full blown flu, it's harder to deal with for some reason, for me anyways.
definitely get some rest and take care

Hope you feel better soon Nikki. Any weekend plans or just recovering? Did you go to any meetup's this week or weekend? Anything happening with your H?
Still feeling really, really yuck!! But thought I'd post a quick update anyway. H actually says I have more energy than he did on his worst day of the cold so maybe I will get lucky and get over it fast.
JDK thanks for asking on the meetups! I forgot to post, yes, last night I went to a happy hour/dancing meetup with that new group I found (and my semi-new friend I met through there went with me also). We had SO much fun. We didn't even wanna leave but I'd already promised to go to that birthday party with H, so we had to bail kinda early. GREAT group though and I can't wait to hang out with them again. They get together a lot, fortunately. I met a guy from India who was showing all of us his truly 24 caret gold ring (I've never seen 24 carets before, it's really pretty but the metal is so soft!). Several of them really love to dance which is great, been looking for that - and the girl next to me is an instructor for a French Cuisine class and offered to do a cooking lesson for us all. Fun stuff! I am really excited about this group.
Last night was the birthday party. No OW/PW (yay!).. but we had our code word ready in case of emergency bail-out. It was fun, although I could tell I was starting to get sick so that was a bummer. I originally wanted to get outta town for at least tonight and maybe go to the beach or something, but I have NO energy so think it'll be a recovery weekend instead.
My big excitement today was that finally at about 7:30 I went and sat outside for a couple hours (as opposed to all day sitting on the couch, too tired to even post here much!). Then the neighbors came over and wanted to go to dinner, so we did get out and grab a casual dinner real quick.
Tomorrow.. I'm guessing more inspecting the couch, vitamins, lemon water, and maybe a movie (rented) if I get really ambitious.
Hope everyone's having a good weekend! Will try and check on you now if I can stay awake for a bit.

Wow, GALing right through a bad cold! Its good you have today to kick back and rest--that's good for you, too. A nice balance. Hope you get over that cold right quick ;0)
yes WOW indeed! that sounds soooo cool. I wish I could do some meetup groups. Maybe someday I can. I know I can do it if I want...but since we have a small child, I know that makes it harder, and more costly with sitters which we really can't do.
I'm very glad these meetup groups are working so well for you. Those are scary to do, because really you never know who your going to meet and if the people are respectable or not, but it sounds like you've always picked out great ones! Plus the fact that you DID them, is so awesome. it would take a lot of courage for me to do that as well so I definitely look up to you a lot!
hope you continue to feel better!

Well.. Friday was some GALing... Saturday and Sunday were a whole lotta sleeping! My big project yesterday was to get the laundry done and put away, and I was exhausted after that.
Still not feeling so hot today. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.
ST about the meetups - I forget, have you looked for any kid friendly ones near you? There are a ton in this area. Might be fun to do a day at the park or something with the kids. I have been really surprised at how good all of them have been. You're right, it's pretty scary because you really have no idea who might show up - but I have yet to run into anyone who made me even a little bit nervous. It helps that they're usually in very public places, too. You can always kinda scope out the "crowd" before you jump in and say hi.

I did find a mom and tots group. I did that once. last meetup got cancelled from rain. So I will have to go to that website again and check out what else is here. I was going to start my own until I found out you had to pay to do it.
Glad you got lots of rest this weekend. You definitely needed it and deserved it!

Check into the local schools and social services/park&rec. They often list playgroups, too. I did that to meet other Moms when I first moved across state lines.
Nikki- I looked into meetup, and most events are on the shore, over 1/2 hour from my house. But I'm going to keep looking... Can you tell me what the alerts do? I couldn't find directions on the web site...
btw, how's your doggie feeling? Our puppy is doing really great--second night she slept with the gate down. And she is staying in the bed with me all night long. Probably not a great practice to get into, but its helping both of us ;0) I think we are finally through housetraining solid! Yea!!!
thanks Donna...Found. I actually found a mom&tots group from a church, but they only do kid stuff 2x a month. I'll have to keep looking too
