Sick and Immobile

I have been sick for the last two to three weeks now. I know the flu is going around like crazy but unfortunately I have been dealing with my own monsters. I have a terrible chest cough and I literally have no energy at all. I've been out of a bed a total of maybe 25 minutes to shower since last night around 11:30 pm.

Hope everyone else is doing okay! My poor mom is sick now too, which was probably my fault so hopefully it'll go away soon.

I thought in the spirit of lots of people being sick, I'd share my top favorite things to do to try to make myself feel better!

1. Drink juice. I don't normally drink much except water on a daily basis but when I'm sick I crave juice. It is as if my body knows I need the nutrients. My favorites are Cranberry-Raspberry, Orange, and White Grape Juice. I also have re-found my appreciation for apple juice :)

2. Cuddle. This is usually in the form of my dog, since what healthy human wants to cuddle with a sick person?

3. Soup. I could go months without ever having a bowl of soup, and the second I'm sick I need to have as much as possible. Strange. Personal favorites include the mushroom soup from my local hibachi place, tomato soup with rice, and french onion.

4. Sleep. I try sleep as much as I can on a normal day but sleep is my best friend when I'm sick. It helps me avoid feeling how sick I am for a little while. Sucks though, when you can't actually sleep or can't do it comfortably, because more often than not you end up feeling worse.

5. Throat drops. I hate the ones that make you all tingly, I can't think of the word. So I opt for the ones that just taste like candy, but they do help! Hall's Breezers in cool berry are my favorite.

If all else fails, just cry. That's what I did last night and it helped get rid of some of the tension. Beware though if you have a stuffy nose ;)

Until next time!

Sick and in Bed

That's right folks, I feel like death right now. I woke up with a sore throat and it just went down hill from there. I'm in bed right now and this is pretty much my set up:

I haven't even eaten dinner yet and it's nine-thirty. I have the aches, sore throat, and I'm pretty sure I have a temperature. The only good thing is I don't have to go to work tomorrow. However, I do have to bring my car to the shop to get a tire replaced, and I hate going there. 

The mountain of homework I have has not budged at all, it has been slow going this week, and being sick sort of throws a wrench in my weekend plan to haul ass. Twelve more days, twelve more days. 

So there seems to be a lot of weird news today, AT&T was voted the worst cell phone carrier in the United States...I had no problems with them but who knows. I think all cellphone companies suck. 

Lindsay Lohan got arrested for hitting a psychic in the face at a club I believe. Which isn't really news in her case, it is just another day for this crazy girl. She needs help, serious help. The judge will be doing the right thing if they put her in jail and keep her there. Don't let her out early, she has proven she can't handle herself. And don't use the overflowing excuse. 

What else?

My boss asked me to come up with two crafts for next week that are winter themed. I chose these two and I think they will be adorable! 

Other than that...I'm going to go be sick with Charlie sleeping next to me. Have a good weekend everyone. 

Wednesday: Leap Day Crazy

Since when has Leap Day become such a huge day? Even 30 Rock came out with an episode for Leap Day! Go watch on hulu.com, it is so good. I just cannot remember when Leap Day became a "holiday". People all over Facebook were wishing others a "Happy Leap Day". Just a tad strange.

Then to top it all off, there are rumors that Snookie is preggers?!? Holy cow. The world is over as we know it, if she and her crazy boyfriend are going to start reproducing. (We all know that if it were true, it was unexpected). It makes me shudder a little to think this girl (since she continues to act like one haha) who just said on national television the other night, that she "felt like breaking a law or two"; could possibly even be allowed to have a child. It baffles me.

Today was just such a strange day, the weather stunk. Everyone overreacted like usual and thought we were gonna get a ton of snow. I'll admit I thought we might get the snow too. Rain. All it did was rain and rain. I would rather it be a thunder storm than what we had, it was just a blah day. Which didn't help us here at home, because everyone down to little Charlie has been feeling cruddy. Mom is still in pain, I've got a infection and am in pain, dad's back has been a mess, and Charlie has been throwing up everywhere!

We're a mess!

I think he agrees :)
