( In which Angel gets a ride in a police car and an ambulance )

I think I've come down with something. I was feeling a bit queasy this afternoon, but had a nice cup of harden the fuck up and went to fire training anyway. I figured dinner would sort me out since I hadn't eaten that much earlier in the day ( Read more... )

Got a "I hate to say it to a lady, but you look like shit," from my boss, so I made it through one meeting and now I'm at home in bed again, trying to keep breafast down. Worked out my food intake for the previous 60 hours had been a box of chocolate milk (the supplemented variety) Sunday morning, a plum, and most of a protein bar and two small ( Read more... )

Oh wait, apparently I just had one... So after a long Winter Weekend of boardgames & late nights & drinking galore, I got home and went splat. Batteries were decidedly run down before I even got to the event, and went downhill. Started with a bit of a sore throat & cough on Sunday morning, got worse by the time I got home, so I went to sleep at ( Read more... )

So I wake up this morning with a sore throat, my sinuses draining down the back of my throat, and then my muscles and joints start aching... I ring Healthline and they tell me that I probably have influenza, but since I haven't been overseas in the past seven days, or been in contact with any suspected or confirmed swine flu cases, it's probably ( Read more... )

I'm sick again. Started feeling feverish when I got home, temperature is definitely higher than my usual 36.8, at 37.5, and my lymph nodes are up, and I'm feeling a bit nauseous. Joy... I'm being a good plague victim and I've cancelled my dentist appointment tomorrow, and I won't be at gaming, or work.
I wondered for a bit as to whether my sudden ( Read more... )

Stopped by the pharmacy on the way back from physio. The pharmacist recommended Viralex which seems to be some herbal antiviral, antibiotic and antifungal concoction involving olive leaf extract and some other stuff. I'll see if it's any good. I don't care if it's a placebo effect if it makes me feel any better. If it's no good, then I'm gonna ( Read more... )

Had a dentist appointment this morning to replace the filling that fell out the other day. The vet is located right next door, so I stopped by to make an appointment for Greebo, since he's due for his annual shots. They had an appointment free if I could get him there within the next half hour. So I went home, got out the cat cage, found Greebo ( Read more... )

Such a sharing family... Thanks for the cold, sis! At least I didn't get the tummy bug too. My cold started with a hell of a sore throat on Monday, and Tuesday, but today the sore throat is mostly gone and my head is full of snot - and two supermarkets I went to had no lemons!? It's almost as bad as fish shops with no fish. I'm making do with ( Read more... )

It was nice weather on Saturday, and my lawns were in desperate need of being mowed, so I headed off to Bunnings Porirua to hire a mower, with stellar_muddle in tow to look for gardening stuff.
Bunnings was completely out of hire mowers, and J got some, but not all, of the things she was after, so the next plan was to go to Twiglands in Churton Park.
At the very ( Read more... )
