Lemonade in the microwave for 60 second, plus one shot of Jack Daniel’s.
I am so, so, drunk. It is 5:30 Good night.
Dunno what happened to me.
Woke up this morning feeling like shit and thought about calling into work, but didn’t. No fever or running nose or anything like that, just a general “uh” feeling with a bit of a headache and difficulty keeping my thoughts straight.
By 9am I was telling my boss that if they came around in the early afternoon to send anyone home (as they sometimes do), FIND ME. An hour later I was logging out and going home. Couldn’t do the job, couldn’t think straight to get customer’s problems resolved cleanly (tech support call center).
Came home, did some puttering, ate an entire subway foot long plus some beef jerkey, went to bed at 2:30pm. Got up just before 7pm feeling kinda disconnected. Knew what day it was, but still felt like things weren’t really real and like it should be morning. Unsure if I should vacuum - had to tell myself “no, it’s 7pm, it’s ok”.
Did any of that make sense? Because I still feel very fuzzy.
No, I’m not hung over. Haven’t had anything to drink in perhaps a week.
I seem to have developed a bit of a cold today. Why are summer colds always worse than winter ones?
I suspect it is because you are always popping into and out of the A/C. Allergies can’t help too much either in the summer.
I’m currently on the mend from a strep abcess that had me in the hospital and a rehab center for most of the month of December. It’s good to be home, but it will be even better when I feel enough better to enjoy it.
My wife and smallest son have head-colds, and I’ve got something more along the lines of the OP’s symptoms. The only good part is that I got sick AFTER the root canal, so the sinus pressure isn’t mashing an abscessed nerve.
But I’d still like to have my sinuses back.
Yeah, me too.
My nose is sore from wiping it. 
Even with Puffs plus lotion. (I love them.) I’ve had a sore throat and stuffy nose for a few days–the worst was yesterday when I felt weird and achy and feverish. I couldn’t go to sleep, but I couldn’t really do anything either, so I bundled up on the couch and watched Comedy Central until I got annoyed. Yesterday was ass. Today I’m much better, but still sniffly and scratchy. I don’t want to go to bed because I know if I lay down things are gonna get all weird.
Definitely on the mend, even though I went to take another dose of sudafed a few minutes ago and accidentally took another dose of my birth control pills instead. :smack: Maybe tomorrow I’ll have more sense.
Put something like Neosporin +Pain Relief on it. No matter how careful you are or how soft the tissue, you’re still abrading your skin a little every time you wipe.
I thought of this a few years ago when my nose had gotten so very, very red and sore (and yes, I was also using Puffs Plus) that it looked like I had a rug burn. The relief was immediate, and I kicked myself for not thinking of it earlier.
Right now I’m not sick, and I’d like to stay that way, thanks. All you sickos keep your germs to yourself!
