Sick...
« on: January 21, 2009, 09:13:16 PM »
Head stuffed full of cold and lost my voice so off work (you cannae teach a class of teenagers much when you are speechless).

Feeling dead sorry for myself - I hate being off for any reason, and of course, I hate feeling ill, so all in all, not a happy kittie. 

Slight consolation of being able to divert myself with Chi and friendly chit-chat, but then again, my head is mince so I got nowhere slow with yesterday's :(

Chilly here in NYC.

I wonder how many people caught colds after standing outside for hours at the presidential inauguration in Washington yesterday?  Thank goodness the speeches were short!

Sorry to hear you aren't feeling well, cb.  You now have me wanting a big bowl of tomato soup and a grilled cheese sandwich. Which is something I have occasionally when I'm sick.

We're having a bit of a warm spell where I live, and it has me hoping that winter is nearing its end. It's so deceiving, since I know there is still so much more to come for us!

I hope you are feeling better by now, cb. If not, I prescribe massive doses of Krispy Kreme doughnuts if available. If not, then the most sugary pastries that you can get your hands on. Plus a daily zinc pill washed down by Pepsi or some other fizzy drink. Works for me every time.

Thanks to all for their well-wishes.  Yes, I am feeling quite a lot better now - though was still off school today as my voice is still very croaky and would probably have vanished altogether as soon as I was in front of a class.  Hopefully, will be back firing on all cylinders in time for 8.30 on Monday.

Not a big fan of doughnuts or sweet pastries, RM.  Though I'm a sucker for chocolate and any form of biscuits.  But I made a nice big pot of soup on Sunday (last weekend) and that has definitely helped get me through the week - especially when my throat was so sore that solid food was a bit of a struggle!  And my daily multi-vit+mineral pill washed down with a big mug of hot chocolate probably didn't do any harm either.
