Headache, fever, congestion, body aches, chills. And this year I finally got a flu shot. Oh well.

It can't last forever. I rarely get sick. Thank goodness as I am a total wimp.

I'm really sorry to hear this. Sometimes I think that we get sick because otherwise we take things for granted...
We get a huge reminder of our mortality when we're sick...
I hope your illness passes quickly and completely...
Taking care of yourself will surely help, sweetie...

8. It's true, we appreciate health when we have been without it for a bit. |
|
I was just saying the other day that spring would not be as wonderful if it didn't come after winter.

10. Take a long hot bath while sipping hot peppermint tea, go to bed early with the heat up |
|
and lots of blankets, and get professional medical advice if you're not better pronto

I was sick last week and into the weekend. Bronchitis and flu, and I have not been so sick in years.
Best wishes for you to feel better soon!

22. Actually feel measurably better tonight. |

And plan to sleep in tomorrow so that's a plus. I was worried I was working on pneumonia, but I think I have turned the corner. :-)
