My dad's sworn remedy is a hot toddy. He really likes rum, though, so his motives are questionable...as is the number of drinks...

so now we have:
wasabi
ginger
rum

sounds more like a party than cold remedies...;)

i just want to go hooooommmmmmmmeeeeeeeeeee.

Well if you're going to be sick, you may as well make the best of it

ggggggrrrrrrrrrrr. why does this always happen?
healthy, life is good, rolling along and then BAM, outta NO where - sick. felt 100% fine and good yesterday, went to bed feeling fine, about 2 hours in bed realized, it felt like i had razor blades in my throat, and my head was throbbing. :evil: i dislike being sick period, but it always seems i get ill right around when i have SO much coming up!

this weekend is the annual oyster festival, my husband's band will be playing both days, all day. also have the annual breast cancer walk with my sister sunday morning. not to mention, philly halloween weekend is right around the corner. also, can not call in sick b/c altho i am doing close to nada, i need to be here 'just in case' b/c 10.15 used to be a big deadline for my firm, still is a deadline, but looks like we're set...but none the less, here i am. sucks.

i hope i can kick this cold's ass ASAP.
:twisted:

I'm with you. I'm sick as hell with the Flu. Doc said maybe even the Swine Flu :( oh well. what can you do?

I'm such a wuss...but I hate this

You should be home by now, D2D. Hope you're feeling better. Chinese food with hot mustard and tea sounds like a good plan.

I feel a cold coming on, too. Bummer. I hope they turn the heat on in this place soon. brrrr

I woke up with a sore throat.

Not fun!

jammergirl

the same thing happened to me this weekend!
flew back from the LA shows, totally still high from the experience. sat afternoon i noticed i had a slight sore throat, but figured it was from all the yelling at the shows. BAM, woke up sun morning, head clogged, throat scratchy, sinuses on fire...had to call in sick even though i had just gotten time off to go to the shows, d'oh!
luckily i'm feeling better today, fairly confident that it wasn't the swine flu, just a head cold. i too am hoping that means i got my one winter illness out of the way!
to anyone else suffering: water, oranges, hot toddies, soup, etc. and lots of shitty daytime tv!

Hope you feel better soon!!

it was completely awesome!
as was my fluffy comforter and 12 hours of sleep.
however, i still managed to wake up feeling worse. :? however, isn't that how it goes....gets worse before it gets better? i took 2 hours of sick leave this morning so i could sleep/rest a bit later, and still come to work during this important time and look dedicated. think i may do the same tomorrow, *the* deadline day (tho again, we got 99.8% of the work done for the 09.15 deadline, so this is all appearances) and then friday call out all day, finally!

hope i am better saturday, but definitely by sunday since that is the breast cancer walk and i can't miss hubby's band 2 days in a row. also, this way come back to work monday 100% better. man, i hope i can make it happen.

lots of sleep, vitamin C...vitamins in general....dayquil/nyquil.....tea, tea and more tea.....and tonight, tortellini en brodo.


my sympathies to all my fellow sickies...it sucks! and thats for all the well wishes everyone!


btw - ditp...that sucks about the heat. as i said earlier, i really try not to put it on in october, but man, it was COLD monday night! so you bet, on it went!

flu is horrendous.
i am feeling rather deathly myself, and this is just a really bad cold. but it did completely blind-side me late monday night/early tuesday, and today i feel under it's full effects. my hair actually hurts. you know that feeling? man, i hate it. i cannot wait to go home!

hang in there wolf!

With all this swine flu, they have someone who checks to see if you are sick and makes you go home!

Sick Nazis!

...
Think about it this way...
You are fine. The guy next to you is coughing and sneezing up a storm. You're okay with that? Will the business go under if this guy isn't there? What makes him so important to the job, that he is willing to risk your well being?
Personally, I hate it when fuckers come to work when they're sick. i don't want their fucking disease. They aren't that fucking important to the place... the company will survive if they are not there for a couple of days.

i dont know how im not sick. i just moved, started a stressful new job, have been drinking and smoking and partying more than i have in 4-5 years, sleeping poorly, eating oddly, not working out... and i feel fine other than typical smoking shortness of breath. there's no rhyme or reason in this world.

Get_Right

feel better!
My wife always makes me the following when I have a cold, which is a combination of what was said above (minus Rygar's rum)

hot water, fresh finely grated ginger, lemon and honey

a LOT of ginger and lemon in a pot-so strong its almost a spicy lemon ginger soup, strain into a teacup as needed-then cut with a little honey

great for the sore throat

easy on the honey at bedtime, honey

I hope you're not still feeling lousy.

Were you able to stay home and rest? :geek:
