January 12, 2006= The Day the Cold Took Over My Life

[cabenson]

I have the immune system of a kitchen sponge. Woke up with a sore throat, cough and now I have a fever. I am seriously contemplating an orange juice bath using Vitamin-C as bath beads...I wonder if they fizz?

Maybe Bruin or the Twins will take a nap with me.


P.S. WTF is up with the weather? 59 degrees F in the middle of January? I should be up to my ass in snow, not wondering if we need to mow the grass. I am never going to get to try out that damn sno-blower.

Looks like you definitely need a cuppa Hot Scot to deal with your hot snot. And a naughty nurse wouldn't hurt either, I'm sure.

The weather is very disconcerting. Yesterday, it was 50 here, and I certainly drove around with my windows rolled down. And as I drove, I thought, "This is just wrong." Seriously, it's supposed to be several degrees below freezing and I'm supposed to be shivering my arse off, not wandering around without a coat.

So very, very wrong.

I hate this weather, too. After watching Day After Tomorrow, I just can't help but feel like this world is going to explode any day now.

Uh-huh. It's Zachary, the mystery offspring, bringing home germs from that infested elementary school is what it is. ;)

The worst thing about having a cold nowadays is how pansy-ass cold medicine has become. The amount of alcohol in them ain't what it used to be. I mean, my God, the medical community is never going to find a cure for the cold, so what's the harm in letting us be doped out of our misery for the duration of the illness? It's enough to make me resort to concocting bathtub gin versions of Nyquil and 44D. Or, y'know, self medicate with screwdrivers.

Anyway, feel better soon.

I feel for ya. The wacky weather is not going to help you out.
How's the hot toddy - Jack Daniels, honey, and lemon concoction workin for you?

In the future, make sure to wash your hands like a maniac, and keep your hands/fingers away from your face.

Hope you feel better

I am just waiting for the wife to grab some fresh lemons from the store on her way home.

I work in a microbiology/virology lab, so this is second nature to me. My hands are practically raw during the winter between the dry air and the constant, and I mean constant ,scrubbing with anti-germicidal soap. Thanks god for B&BW "Glove Postion #9.
