Ugh.

[lithera]

I woke up feeling okay.

Then I realized it was 4 in the morning and I had woken up to cough. I went back to sleep relatively easily, all things considered. I woke up again when my alarm went off and strangely went back to sleep. I got up, coughed up a lung and tried to call my lead.

I then noticed that my voice has become an very undignified, breathy squeak.

"Hey, I'm not coming in today."
"Yeah..."
"I think you can tell why, too."
"Yeah. Take care of yourself."

So, I'm at home today. I have that horrible sick taste in the back of my throat. I don't have any meds to take for this sort of illness. I normally get sinus things. So if anyone has cough or throat hurting stuff, I'll take it, gladly.

Donations of chicken soup and drugs welcome.

I'm going back to work tomorrow because we have an-all company wide meeting that I don't want to miss. Today will be mostly sleep, I hope.

But I will be around... AIM me if you wish.

Re: Hot Toddy

My sister and I both had limp lungs, and bronchitis or pnemonia were fairly common. During those nights when we couldn't sleep because we were coughing too much, she made us hot toddys. I hated the taste, but damn, they worked!

I need learn how to make them and get the makings for when I'm sick.
