I Am Sick Of Being Sick

I am . I am so sick of being sick . Here I am again with another sore throat , another tickle me in the night lose your sleep cough , a nauseated stomach , and a headache that says close the dam blinds and keep it dark in the room or I will not let you rest . This is actually part and parcel of the same thing I had in late November . It got better in time for me to float through the holidays , but sat discreetly in my chest just waiting for a second chance to attack . Nasty little green mucous men have invaded my nostrils this time making me become a mouth breather which in turn does nothing for the dry lips and raspy throat . I have the flu shot but as my pharmacist daughter explains there is a difference between viral and bacterial . I take my vitamins , endeavor to handle my stress , eat my veggies (some organic ) and two nights ago had the fortitude to give give birth to quads in my sleep .
I should have known .. qu for Nyquil , ad for advil , and s for swiss lozenges .
Guess there is something to this dream thing .

Hey Dawnie... can't you send Ma and Me some heavy duty Antibiotics... you know, something that could know down an elephant...

Hang in there Ma... we'll get through this...

Love and lozenge hugs from Bobbycakes.

And sympathy on the loss of T.K. Jewell. I got to know him when I was working at MCTV, especially while producing a half-hour documentary on the fight to save Kapuskasing when Kimberly Clark pulled out.
A true gentleman and a Northern Ontario legend who always had time for anyone who needed it.

Rest in peace, Mr. Jewell.

Mr Jewel was a precious jewel of a man and was truly a remarkable human being .Unforgettable . I am so privileged to have known him in many aspects of my youth . Rest in peace indeed .

I was all stuffed up last night. I then swalled some Windex and I am all better now.

***** Actually I bought Aleve while in the US last month and that stuff works wonders ***** or maybe it was the Windex. Either way, feeling somewhat better this morning.

Hope you feel better soon.

Okay, your qu-ad-s analogy proves one thing: You need to find a new medication. Whatever you're taking now is affecting your already wild and vivid imagination.

Hope you're better soon.

Try the windex...

Windexing my throat sounds a tad extreme ...let Kittycakes try it first .

you should try gargling with salt water. when i was at camp we had this nurse that would make everyone gargle, even if you sprained your ankle. But i always do it for a soar throat...and back pain.
