I currently have some kind of head cold/chest infection thing that is making me feel like my head is stuffed with nails and or golf balls. It sucks. But I’m also just a terrible, terrible patient. I get the sniffles? Well, it must be Ebola. I get a muscle pain? Well, it must be some degenerative condition that will render me limbless in six months. Right now, I’m lying on my sofa wailing intermittently while surrounded by tissues and cats.*
I have always been a bad sick person. I mean, you’re not really sick unless you mention it at least thirty times a day, amirite? And you can hardly be expected to help yourself, so it’s essential that someone waits on you hand and foot, serving you hot whiskey and toast while you watch re-runs of Project Runway. Fluid intake is key to a swift recovery. And I’m sure my loved ones wouldn’t want me to die right? RIGHT?
So, tell me about your weekend? *twirls hair* What ya up to? I’ll listen while crying into my whiskey.
*Well, two cats. But they’re on either side of me, so….
I totally get this-
Glad I’m not the only one
Lol!
I’m the opposite Janey. I keep the mantra, “This is not a cold, this is not a cold” going even as I blow my schnozz till it bleeds….denial is half the battle. I feel if I go down I might not resurface, the product, I suppose, of living with a chronically ill mother for many years. 1000 mg Vitamin C every day, love, even afyer you get better. And oral Olive Leaf, a great immune booster. Get well soon and Happiest of New Years to you. I just got over our three week dance of death with the worst cold in a decade.
I wish I were as resilient as you! I’m just a big baby 😂 I am glad that you were able to take something positive from such a situation. I will take your advice on board, I get sick far too often! Hope you are doing better and have a wonderful new year 🤗
Thanks Janey! Same to you.
Oh, poor Janey. Here is a huge load of compassion which hopefully warms the cold away a bit. Get better soon, dear!!
Thank you Erika and best wishes to you for the new year 💕💕
Thank you very much, Janey 😊💖
Ahahah omg my mother is JUST like this! I’m the opposite – unless it’s a headache because then I can get sympathy hair-played-with and I’d be crazy to turn THAT down x
Haha, I love that too! It really is the sympathy that’s the best lol
From one snuffly to another (have had this cold for three weeks and can’t shift it), Happy New Year Janey.
I’m lucky in that I’m rarely ill but when I am, it ain’t pretty. However, I prefer to be left on my own to ‘die quietly’ in bed. Hubby is good though, he brings me tea or hot water with paracetamol if I need it, and let’s me have the bed to myself (apart from dog). That’s love. ❤
Aw that sounds like heaven (apart from the being sick part). I got some sympathy toast a while ago and now I have the cats to snuggle me. I hope you start to feel better, it’s awful to be sick at this time of year! Warm wishes to you!
I haven’t let it get to me and kept going, just blowing my nose with hearty cheer!
Get well soon Janey.
Most blokes will identify with you given the ravages of man flu.
I’m having a good weekend relaxing and eating before going back to work after some days off between Christmas Day and New Year’s Day.
Thanks Gary! Oh man flu is even worse haha. I hope you had a nice time chilling out! Happy New Year 💕
I hope you feel better soon! I’m definitely the same when ill! 🙂 xxx
Thank you 😊 It’s nice to know I’m not a complete drama queen haha. Happy New Year!
Happy New Year! 🙂 xxx
Nearly everyone I know is sick with the same type of thing right now! Me included. Do you think the companies that make cold medicine send out some sort of sickness into the air through insects or birds or something when they’re sales are down? Nah… me either. 😅😁😁
Hmm 🤔 I hadn’t thought of that, but I am thinking it now 😂 are you feeling any better? I’m still a little fragile. Hope you feel better soon!
I am almost back to 100% without any cold medicine – HAH SUCKERS. 🙂 Glad you are only a little fragile now – get well!!
When THEIR*** sales are down. Way to go autocorrect.
BLESS YOUUUU
THANK YOUUUU
