Being sick. It
Chatterbox: Down to Earth
Being sick. It
Being sick. It stinks. Really really really stinks. I hate the winter, because I always get sick. Even living in the desert, I still get sick!!! I've been hacking up a lung all of last night and I felt like a wreck. Today I feel slightly better and managed to get online, but it's still wretched. The only good thing about it is that I've been able to catch up on my massive reading pile, but I can't do much writing. I WISH I WOULD HURRY UP AND GET BETTER!!!!!! Sheesh.
Sorry about the vent. I just hate it.

My advice is to drink A LOT of water. Staying hydrated always helps. If you have a cold, try drinking tea and sucking cough drops. And rest a lot. Get well soon, Everinne!

Sorry, Everinne! I've been there a while ago. Try Gatorade. I find this helps keep me hydrated and makes me feel a little better. And I know everyone tells you, "You have to eat". I find not necessarily. Eat when you feel up to it, not when you think you should. That can just cause other problems.
Hope you feel better! Your in my prayers!

Get well soon, Everinne! I don't like being sick either. Resting is key for getting well!

I feel your pain. I normally get a wicked bad cold every time the seasons change. I hope you feel better soon!

I hope you get well very very soon, Everinne!!! I know how frustrated getting sick can be.
And... is it even possible to get sick in the Grey Havens? I mean, seriously. Was no one else wondering about that?

Thank you everyone for the well-wishes! I'm feeling much better now (hence why I can actually type), and I'm sure it was due to your kind thoughts!
Regarding BHR's comment about eating, I find that it's really true. Also, I lost my sense of taste for twenty-four hours, so eating anything felt like sawdust!

That happens to me too! That, and then everything tastes really funky, therefore making most things taste pretty bad.

I got a fever one year around Blu's birthday. She had special strawberry cake and it tasted awful. The only thing that tasted good was tri-color rotini, that twisted pasta with different flavors. That really annoyed me because I was looking forward to all the good food at the party and all of it tasted awful.
