I thought about buying a new themometer, and administering it in the ladies’ room. If I have a fever, it would be helpful to know. So I can make sure I buy the fever-reducing stuff. Is there a way to tell the difference between having “chills” and being just plain old cold?
I went home with a variety of potions, and seem to be on the mend. I am trying to stay hydrated, but after several nights of mouth-breathing, everything tastes like an old sock. Even water. Regardless of how many times I brush my teeth. After blowing my nose raw, it’s a merry shade of pink. I’ve covered it in Vaseline. I am not sure that’s accomplishing anything, other than making in insides of my nostrils very shiny.
While I stimulate the antibacterial segment of the economy, I hope you all are having a much more lovely, germ-free weekend. Oh, and go Patriots.
Also On Tap for Today:
- Check out Amanda’s bake sale to benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (you can bid on some of our paleo crunch!)
- Sunday night yoga
- Happy New Year!
Are you a big baby (like me, clearly) or a good patient?


Awww feel better Elizabeth. Being sick is nasty. I’m curled on the couch watching football today.
Ugh, get well soon. My cure-all is always a few days eating Lipton noodle soup (you know, the dry packet kind). I don’t know why, but it always gets me feeling better no matter what the symptoms are!
Ugggg! Maybe I somehow gave you my cold through the interwebs
Thankfully I’m on the uphill side of it, and only just have lingering symptoms (so sick of blowing my nose!). Hope you feel better!!! My drug of choice is classic sudafed which Target it always out of. Also pound the Emergen-C, and echinacea tea. I too got friendly with the vaseline this past week. Fun stuff I tell you. Have Clark bring you some tea
I hate being sick! Feel better!!!
Man I feel your pain. I had the exact same thing over new years. The only way to go is Mucinex D. Period. Feel better!!!!
