Bam!
How the heck can you feel good one minute and the next minute you feel like . . . well, like crap? I thought you had to kind of work your way into feeling sick. You know - - a little warning. Not BAM! You're sick!! Guess I was wrong. Cuz BAM! I am sick!
I am not ashamed to admit that I love drugs. I know that probably sounds bad. I live in Washington state where the progressive (misguided?) residents recently voted to make marijuana legal. That's not what I mean. I don't do THOSE kinds of drugs. I mean NyQuil, TheraFlu, cough syrup with codeine - - I get giddy for those kinds of drugs when I'm sick. I am not a homeopathic kind of girl. No herbs or bees wax to cure what ails me. Oh no, not for this girl. Give me the good stuff.
And so I will go home early from work. I will take those drugs and drift away into my own version of a teenage wasteland. And when I wake up - - BAM!! - - maybe I'll feel better.
Oh, and one more thing. Did you know that starve a cold and feed a fever (feed a cold and starve a fever??) is really a myth? That's good for me because I never lose my appetite when I'm sick with a cold. So, when I wake up from my drug induced slumber I think a bowl of peppermint ice cream will make me feel even better!!

Feel better soon—and enjoy that ice cream!
ReplyDeleteI am the total opposite. I fight tooth and nail against taking any drugs. If there is a home remedy, I use it.
ReplyDeleteFeel better! Being sick really sucks.
With colds, flu, etc., I'm all for drugs. I might try home remedies for other ailments . . . but I hate to be miserable!!
DeleteI'm the exact same way Ruth! I don't know what it is or why .. but I hate taking those things..
DeleteFeel better soon Judy!
Sorry you're sick! :( I wish I could take nyquil but it gives me tachycardia. A lot of cold meds do that. And the only reason I might starve when I'm sick is that if I can't taste what I'm eating, I don't bother to eat. I eat for taste dontcha know. lol Feel better!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat's a really good reason NOT to eat - - if you can't taste the yummy goodness of it, then why bother?!
DeleteI always wonder at how we manage to get sick so quickly and take so long to heal.... enjoy your drugs~
ReplyDeleteThank you - I will :)
Deletebetter living through pharmaceuticals that's my motto NyQuil is my friend when I have a cold feel better soon
ReplyDeleteCough syrup w/ codeine - best buds!
DeletePepperimint ice cream -- yum! Have some for me! Ugh, I hate being sick. I do all of the NyQuils, DayQuils, etc., too. Feel better!
ReplyDeleteThank you - and I'll definitely eat some for you!
ReplyDeleteI love those kind of drugs too! Hope you feel better soon. And of course, you must have ice cream. Ice cream makes everything better!
ReplyDeleteIce cream is the cure!
DeleteI am such a medicine-phobe! You are my hero!
ReplyDeleteWhy feel miserable when meds can make you feel soooo good :)
DeleteI'm with you on the proper pharmaceuticals over homeopathic cures! Give me a Codral Cold and Flu tablet any day!
ReplyDeleteRight on sister!
Deletehoping you feel better soon! We just went through the bug/germs/you name it at our house; I've not been that sick in such a long time.
ReplyDeletebetty
Betty, that doesn't sound very encouraging! haha. Glad all in your home are better :)
DeleteI don't do drugs either-not no more...An esteemed colleague of mine convinced me to try Gypsy Cold Care Tea. I know you know this about me, because of my recent post. Suffice to say, drinking more than a dozen cups of this tea, got rid of my cold IN ONE DAY! By the way, I never lose my appetite either. Feed a cold-starve a fever, unless I have a fever. Then it's feed a fever-starve a cold. Whatever's clever, as they say.
ReplyDeleteMark! Totally forgot about the Gypsy Cold Care Tea!! I love my NyQuil, but I just may go on the hunt for the tea this afternoon!!
DeleteI believe it's starve a fever, feed a cold, but honestly, I don't know if that's all true. But feel better!
ReplyDeletefeed a cold? Sounds good to me!!
DeleteFeel better soon! mmmm. Now I want ice cream.
ReplyDeleteCome on over, I'll share - - the ice cream, not the germs.
