Sick and tired of being sick and tired.

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

This is truly mundane and pointless shit.

I have had the flu all week. Not just a bad cold or bronchitis, the real deal, honest to God influenza. The first day or so wasn’t so bad. I stayed in my jammies all day, lay on the couch and drank tea thinking hee hee look at me I’m ordered off work for 5 days.

That was Monday, today I am just disgusted and disgusting. Fever, cough, sniffle,hack, blow, bitch and moan and groan. My head is pounding, my throat is sore, ache all over, even my eyebrows ache. My snot’s hot. I am definitly not fit for human consumption.

I’ve been to the Dr. I’m taking my pills, vit C, drinking my fluids and my dogs are trying to help me except for the one that wants to eat my used kleenexes, ugh.

All that’s left to do is to lie back and wait for death. It would have to be an improvement.

Hang in, this too, shall pass.

With sympathy,

I believe all right thinking people in this country are sick and tired of being told that the good people in this country are fed up with being sick and tired. And I know I’m not, but I’m certainly sick and tired of being told that I am.

Sorry, couldn’t resist. Hope you get better soon. I’ve been there and few things suck worse.

I’d like to ask everyone what they would do if they were Hitler?

(Hey, Aglarond, you started it :smiley: )

I’d annex the Sudetenland and sign a non-aggression treaty with Russia. (Applause).

I’d pay some Dutchman to set fire to Lord Snowden.

Sorry to hear it, Mojo57. I hope you’re feeling better soon.

I’ve had a bug the last few days, and here’s something that has been making me feel better. It will either kill or cure you:

RUM HOT TODDY (“Nature’s Nyquil”)

Put a big curl of lemon peel, yellow part only, into a big coffee mug with 2 teaspoons of sugar. Munch the sugar and peel around with a spoon to bruise the peel and release a lot of soothing lemon oil. Add a big jigger or two of good quality dark rum and the juice of 1/2 lemon. Fill (or partially fill – your taste) the mug with boiling water.

Inhale the alcohol/lemon fumes into your cloggy sinuses for awhile until the drink is cool enough to drink. Bottoms up, and resist temptation to set up another round. Enjoy!

Well, I meet a lot of people and I’m convinced that the vast majority of wrongthinking people are right.

Hey, your thread title is a line from a song by folkie Melissa Ferrick, “Happy Song”:

“Sing me a happy song,
sing me a happy song,
'Cause I am sick and tired of being sick and tired,
sing me a happy song.”

It’s a cool tune, off her first album. Phil-Bob says, “Check it out.”

It’s my first week back at class and I’m miserably ill as well. I didn’t think I had been exposed to anyone long enough to catch anything! Is it possible to be the originator of one these colds??
