I can’t breathe!
First of all, if you’re so inclined click here to go play What Is It Wednesday…
Secondly, I’ve been living on these cough drops for a week now.
Isn’t it pretty? It’s the original Ricola formula.
Laura and my boss convinced me to go to the walk in clinic last night. The doctor I saw (after only an hour and a half) said oh, it’s just a bad cold, here’s some cough syrup and some nasal spray and just wait it out. Which is what I’ve been doing. He checked my lungs, bp, ears, nose, etc. So…I’m waiting it out. Took Nyquil last night instead of the cough syrup he prescribed because I KNOW that stuff’ll knock me out and I needed some sleep. The previous two nights, I’d been waking up every hour, coughing my brains (and I can’t spare any!) out. Last night, it was great…only woke myself up twice and fell right back to sleep! I did have a REALLY weird dream, which I won’t go into, but feel free to ask about if you want to know. So today, I have a Nyquil hangover. Also, yesterday, since this “cold” has pretty much taken away my appetite (not to mention my sense of smell!), all I had to eat was some melba toast, pb and one slice of pizza for dinner. My stomach is growling right now, but I don’t feel hungry, if that makes sense. Excuse me while I try not to cough.
Ok, lastly, I finished Duma Key last night. A very looooong book, a very scary book and well worth reading, if you like Stephen King. He mentioned things in there that made me think of LOTR, The Stand (Mother Abigail in particular) and ahhhh, warmth and the beach. A girl can dream, you know? Heck, he even mentioned vampires! Woohoo!

I am oh so sorry that you are still sick! How awful is that! Do take care…grab a new book and tell the babies to cuddle up with you while you get some rest!!! And, hydrate, hydrate, hydrate!!!

Gosh, I hope you feel better soon. Yikes. I hate seeing the doc and having him tell me something stupid. But if you don’t go? You get the – you should have come in. Fuckers.
When I’ve been really sick, I’ve had great luck with acupuncture. They can clear your ears in like 3 seconds flat

*rubs hands together* Mine is on its way.
The Stand was the first book I read by him. I was in my senior year of HS…….YIKES!
I was hooked after that!

(BTW I hate those ricola cough drops. yuck)

Aveeda tea yum! TTHOSE Ricola cough drops I agree with goofy girl yuck! they make my stomach all yucky. I do like the sugar free lemon throat lozengers but they don’t have any cough medicine stuff in them.
Feel better soon!

Oooh, you know how I feel about Nyquil. Ick! But I hope it made you feel better, outside of the evil Nyquil hangover.
January 30th, 2008 at 8:50 pm
So sorry you’re so sick. Love that Nyquil though. The hangover’s a bummer, but it’s so worth it!!
Feel better soon.

Hope you are feeling better…..I finally broke down and went to the doc. I started a round of antibiotics. I am already feeling better!
I love ricola cough drops too! Drop one in your tea while it is brewing….yummy-licious!

Sheesh! Feel better already, would ya?
January 31st, 2008 at 1:02 am
Get a second opinion! Please get better soon sweetie! I’m worried about you! Sorry I haven’t been around much lately. I’ve been getting home late this week (from that pain in the bum thing–called WORK!)

Macro can make almost anything look purty!
Sorry to hear you’re still feeling so lousy! I never seem to have much luck with doctors hence I’m not a fan. Do hope you feel better soon.

Hope you’re feeling better. I had a bad cold with a cough through Christmas and January. No fun. Hey, I dreamt of Robert Plant last night. How cool is that???
