I've Picked Up Something Icky (Also: One Incredible Rec)

[bluestocking79]

Some kind of virus or cold hit me like a freight train last night: swollen sinuses, sneezing and coughing, chills, the works. I loaded up on decongestant and vitamin C and such and went to bed early, but a night of sleep did nothing to help. This morning I'm feeling like something scraped off the bottom of somebody's shoe, and I have an

Oh, you poor thing. Get well soon! ♥ *sends slave-boys to cater to your every whim* :D

Oh, now that's something to make me feel better! Though it's probably a mark of how yuck I feel that I can't think of anything more exciting to do with them than have them make me tea and fluff my pillows... okay, and massage my neck. That would be great... ;-)

Take care of yourself and I hope you feel better soon. My colds always go to my chest, not my sinuses but regardless of the direction sickness takes, it can make your life miserable.

And the video was great. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Thanks! I'm trying to take it easy so that this won't linger that long. My colds have a bad habit of starting in the sinuses and heading for the chest, but I'm hoping this won't last that long.

I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. I thought it was just a great story, and it made me teary-eyed.

Oh, the misery of a rebellious stomach! Best stick to clear liquids until you can venture forth into the wonderful world of broth soups. Hope it passes quickly.

~sips tea gratefully and ogles minion~ Thank you! That's making me feel better already.

The headache's receded a little bit, and so has the nausea, so I managed some chicken broth, though I'm mostly sticking to the tea and ginger ale. I got in some good nap time, so that's helped. Still, I'm holding my sudafed and mucinex close!

Well now, minion-ogling is a definite sign of improvement. You'll nap your way back to health in no time!

[bluestocking79]

That's the plan! Although I don't think I have the energy to do anything more strenuous than ogling at the moment.

~hugs and sips Pepper-Up~ Wow, that packs a punch!

The weekend really was good, and I was proud that the team overcame the insane officiating to triumph anyway. That made it extra-sweet. :D I knew Dad and I were good again after the first MSU touchdown--we were both jumping around and cheering and high-fiving, and then he smiled and said "Want a beer?"

Good times.

it's an amazing piece of work!

[bluestocking79]

Eeee, me too! I probably should have warned for the weepy factor, sorry. But it hits me that way every time I watch it, too. It's just so well done, with so many layers of details... and did you know that femmequixotic is going to write a prose version of the story, too?

[juniperus]

Oh good - more weeping!
