I'm sorry you aren't feeling well, but please don't mix cold remedies w/alcohol. The best thing is rest and lots of fluids.
As for your little one...dad needs to keep her tonight and take care of her. It's the only opportunity you have to rest and try to recover on your own.
BTW, glad you found the present. Sometimes when we aren't really looking hard for something, it will show up.
Take care and hope you feel better soon.

Thanks Job! I haven't had any cold meds since last night, just Vick's Vapor Rub. That stuff is awesome! I'm reading your thread MLC and Depression and it's just what is happening with H. Thanks for sharing your information.
My uncle that had a MLC has slipped back into depression and my aunt is catching the brunt of it all just like when he went thru his MLC. It's true if you don't deal with it the first time it will hit again. This time he's suffering from psychosis also and doesn't believe his family is his and that they have his real family hidden from him. It's so sad to see. I'm sure it was triggered this time by my brothers death and his sisters 2 weeks later. The psychiatrist said even being put to sleep for surgery can trigger depression.

Yes, Vick's is great. Have you tried dropping some in a pan of hot water and breathing in the vapors? That helps a lot. Lots of rest will help you. I'd sleep in as long as I could, if I were you. Take advantage of your alone time and do absolutely nothing but rest.
I'm sorry to hear about your uncle. I had heard that about depression and how it has been linked to being put to sleep for surgery. The brain is a wonderful thing, but boy it can be complicated. I do hope that your uncle seeks out medical attention and gets on some meds to help w/the psychosis.
I'm glad those old threads are helping you understand a bit more about what your h may be going through. Keep reading and there are some wonderful threads in the MLC Archives that may be helpful too.
Take care of yourself. Get plenty of rest!

Trying to get into the Christmas spirit today. I need to wrap presents but I HATE doing it. My cold is better but I'm still wiped out and it's grey and rainy so all I want to do is sleep. What I need to do is clean the house and wrap these gifts! Maybe by bed time I'll be finished. LOL
I was messing with my phone last night and saw that I could load messages from this summer. I looked back at H's messages to me and he didn't seem miserable and wanting to leave. He seemed fairly content to be depressed and always saying he couldn't wait to be home, checking to see what D and I were up to during the day. Probably not a good idea to revisit those times but I had almost convinced myself that he had been miserable and I overlooked it like he said. Nope, he was ok, depressed but not withdrawn. This ish is crazy!
Now I'm off to wrap presents, or google how to put on eye makeup. Yeah, I'll probably be Googling. LOL

Well I took a shower with some vicks in the shower floor, got all my congestion cleared up! Laid down to rest and woke up 3 hours later. Guess I need to rest to get rid of this crud. H text me that D ran a fever most of the night an he was tired. I told him to give her a hug from me and some ibuprofen and take a nap. I'll offer to take her to the dr if she isn't better by tomorrow but I'm not giving him a break when I know he can handle it.
Now to wrap those presents.....

I'm glad you are feeling a bit better. As for your h, I like your attitude about him being able to handle your little one for today. Nice work on that one.
Hope you feel better soon.

So H text this morning that D was better but he thought he had it. I told him to sleep and drink water, that's what helped me. He had to go into the woe is me tail about how he's sleep deprived and all. I told him he did a good job and left it at that.
Never got those presents wrapped BUT I got my hair colored and a keratin treatment on! Ordered 70.00 worth of make up for 35.00 (Merry Christmas to ME!)and slept a lot. I guess I'll run get this last present and then come home to wrap and clean! Glad to have been able to rest and get this cold under control so I can enjoy the holidays!

I'm glad you are feeling better and took care of some things for yourself. I about died laughing at your response to your h w/his woe is me tale. Again, nice job in responding to him.
Enjoy your day and hope you find that last present today.

Finished shopping! Woo hoo! I even got me a new purse to put out from Santa! Red, to match my new attitude. I was going to get my eyebrows threaded but chickened out. I'll do it myself and then maybe try threading later.
Got to clean the floors, empty the old food from the fridge and get the garbage can out. And still wrap those presents! GAH!
