When life hands you lemons add alcohol and stir!

Still sick. YUCK!

Yeah, I've never like using a desktop. It seems too much like work. With this new laptop I don't have to have it plugged in like I did my old one. The battery in that one didn't hold a charge more than 10 minutes. Love it!

Gabe is still being very kind and taking care of me. He did all the laundry too!!!! HOLY COW!!!

[BobbiJo]

Yay for Gabe doing the laundry!!! Hope you feel better...Sydney is on day 6 of being sick and it is getting old... Are you drinking fluids? And don't you wish margaritas or wine counted as fluids?

[kat727]

They don't??

[MichelleLT]

Hey! They're like 80% water....just cuz there's other crap in there that dehydrates you doesn't take away from the fact that they're fluids and they make you pee!

[mishka422]

Whiskey and honey with lemon. That's fluid and a remedy, right? My Grandpa's remedy anyway. Darn. I don't have any whiskey.

The fever has stayed down for about 4 hours now so I think the worst is over. Still can't stay awake very long and all my joints feel like they are severely inflamed. Other than that, I'm just fine. LOL

[JCJ]

Hah, see I can get you on here too I'm stalking you lol

You take care of yourself!

[MichelleLT]

That's definitely a remedy. Too bad you are out of whisky.

Not as tasty, but about 6 oz or warm water with red wine vinegar, lemon, and honey is what I use. Got the recipe from my friend's mom and it does seem to really help.

Hope you are feeling better every day. Glad your fever seems broke. (((MIshka))))

I will never try whiskey as a cure again...did that once and led to a surprise over night stay!!

Hope you are able to enjoy your weekend and aren't too worn out...I swear sometimes the longer I spend lying down the more tired I feel! Hopefully you can surf the web on your laptop to keep from going stir crazy. And of course sleep is always good...

[mishka422]

Oh do tell!!!! What is this surprise overnight stay????????

I'm doing a little better today. Still sore but the fever has stayed down. I called the nurse hotline for Marc's insurance and played like he was the one who had this. She said there is a virulent virus going around and the only help for it is rest and lots of fluids. That's it. So that's what I'm doing. REST!!! UGH! I'm so tired of it.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Rest is key, Mish! My D finally got over the flu after 7 days of having a fever. Last night she wound up sleeping 14 hours, just catching up I guess! Try to relax...I am sure you are sick of hearing that!

Well the third time I saw HG was early December when I was sick w/sore throat. I spent the day shopping and was alone so never tried talking. I got to his house that night to watch football highlights and realized my throat didn't hurt but I had no voice! Crap! So HG offered me a glass of water and said he had tried a little whiskey in the past for a bad throat....so along w/glass of water I sipped roughly a shot of whiskey. I refilled my big water glass six times and each time helped myself to a little more whiskey...

So shortly after that I was looking at the tv and realized I was seeing two coaches where there should only be one... HG says, "You don't look so good!" I was so very mortified...I am not a big drinker and I had sucked down cold medicine all day so I would feel better by the time I went to see HG.

He was really sweet, he walked me up to his guest room and gave me some of his clothes to sleep in. I did not change though, I was so ill I couldn't make the effort! The next morning he took me out for breakfast and we've been out three times since then so I guess it didn't bother him!
