Still sick.

This bug just hates to leave! I just finished week 5 of being sick with it, and now the grubs have it too.... guess we start all over again with them.

For now, a hot rum with lemon and honey, and some quiet time!


ETA: notice I ignored the snakes thing -- hoping you are referring to some gummy snakes in the candy dish!

Gah Mary, you and me both. Going on four weeks here, and my advisor and her husband have had it for 5 weeks.

It's just refusing to die!

(I like snakes and will keep them all safely away from you, don't worry. And they're all non-poisonous, even)

I thought I was over it, then it came back even worse than before. It's stubborn, and still hanging on but at least I can get a few things done during the day. Before I couldn't even get out of bed, and a week ago (last Saturday night) I seriously really believed I was gonna die cause I couldn't breath at all -- ended up sitting curled up in a ball on the floor of the shower with the hot water on for about 40 minutes, till the hot water tank ran out. I can't remember being this sick before.

getting another hot rum so I don't notice the snakes!!

AAACK! So sorry you were going through all of this! I am glad things are getting better, and will be elated when you are finally over it!

In the meantime... here is some buttered rum, and chocolate cake.

You mean I'm not alone?! Oy. I'm so sick and tired of being sick and tired... One day. One day I'll know again what it feels like to be energetic, snot and ache free, my jarring cough just a distant memory...

A chocolate rat? That's just gross.

It's totally a patience thing. The more you try to force yourself to get better, the worse it gets. I've come to the conclusion that its better to just take it easy do nothing, and hopefully the germs will get bored and look for some place more exciting to live!! Ya gotta wait them out -- schnapps helps! (passes bottle)
