Yup, it was a bad omen - I'm officially sick
Melody | Tuesday, 1 May, 2007 at 9:52 AM When you're thinking back to the mushy throat as preferable to the burning, raw, scratchy throat, it's not likely to be your finest day. I'm not always the best sick person, but today I'm oddly pleased with the quiet, cozy surroundings. Pillows, blankies, closed blinds. I'm in a cave of nurturing quiet.
But I found some Throat Coat tea by Traditional Medicinals, and that's the happiest thing I could have asked for. This tea is so soothing, glorious...very fine. I just hope I have enough. And I've written about Zicam before. This time I'm skipping the chewable icky stuff and trying the cold and flu version. It's a syrupy goop that's packaged in a spoon so I can take it this way or stir it into a drink. I just suck it up and take it like old fashioned meds, and although it doesn't taste good, it has a soothing component, too. We'll see if it works.
Just wanted to say hi and thanks for the emails. No worries. I can handle being sick...if it doesn't last too long. Yes, I have everything I need. And no, I didn't decide to go to the office today. Since it's part-time and I don't have specific hours, it seemed more responsible to go in on other days this week and not risk carrying this out in public and giving it to my colleagues. They'll thank me later, I'm convinced.
Back to bed...

Feel better Melody!!
There's a pill form of Zicam which works pretty good. But I sense that you are trying to enjoy your sickness the best way you can. Try gargling with salt water or listerine or something horrible like that! It may help.
Hope you're well soon!
Dad
Came today looking for a new post and to see how you're doing. How bizarre a world is it that--instead of calling--I log onto someone's blog to check on their health???
Hope you're feeling better!! =)
Thanks, ya'll. It's comforting to visit my blog and see little "get well cards." I'm not completely 100% yet, but getting there, definitely.
Dena, I do that too!!!
Maybe I'll find enough energy and focus for a new, fresh blog post soon. Meanwhile, wishing everybody a great Friday!
I am going to send you the name of my little black Chinese cold pills. They're anti-viral and they work wonders! :-D Hope you're feeling better soon.
