kleenexwomanI'm sick. I have laryngitis and some sort of flu thing. What the fuck comes with both flu and laryngitis? I have been searching on the Internets and I have no clue, but I'm going to an actual doctor soon and maybe they can tell me.
Ugh. Oh, and it just dumped a thousand tons of snow on us the other day and it got down to single digits last night. IT ISN'T EVEN TECHNICALLY WINTER YET. god I hate Michigan in the winter.
What do you do to keep yourself comfortable/entertained when you are sick? I have been crafting and working on my Yuletide story with a big ol' thermos of Throat Coat Tea next to me.

Would a little bit of Pendergast/D'Agosta on Stromboli cheer you up? An excerpt to help you decide:
“Oww!” Pendergast tried to pull his hand away as Vincent dabbed iodine on his torn knuckles.
“What are you, eight? Hold still.” Getting a firmer grip, Vincent continued with his administrations. “If it stings, that means it’s working.”
Wondering what dubious authority had proclaimed that law, Pendergast held his tongue against any further protests and waited patiently as Vincent tended to his hands. If he overlooked the sharp burn of the iodine, Pendergast couldn’t deny there was something curiously agreeable in the way Vincent was looking after him.

Date: 2010-12-14 08:39 pm (UTC)Also: your weather is totally mental isn't it? Completely off the hook and even a little non-non-heinous. I hope you can stay warm until the sun comes back.
Mostly I feel sorry for myself when ill. But hot showers or baths are so much nicer when body aches from the flu. Mostly: reading, watching films, drinking beverages.. same as when not sick, but with snot and longer naps.

haha, snot and longer naps. I cannot deal with hot showers, sadly. I just sort of stay in there blankly and burn.
