A gripe, complaint, grievance, grumble....

[Veronica]

I love my class this year, great kids, fairly with it, respectful and mostly responsible....

But I am in the throes of my second cold already... and I had plans this week which believe it or not did include sleeping on and off until noon... at least I don't have to write lesson plans for a sub. :rolleyes:

Hope you feel better soon. Sounds like you need some "jewish penicillin" :p

[Veronica]

I think I'd like a new head - this one is too achy.

I did have H1N1 in my room a couple of weeks ago, so of course I'm tripping out taking my temp every couple of hours. :rolleyes: Silly I know. This is day 2 and still a normal temperature.

Feel better!

Hope you feel better soon, V! Now that I'm a librarian and have 300 kids in and out of my "classroom" during the week- I'm far more paranoid about germs. I wipe down my computers, tables, shelf markers, etc. religiously.
Kids are great, but they sure are germy! Rest and take it easy (but I hate that your mini vacation will be spent sick :()

[katluvr]

you just have to slow down and take care of yourself. But I agree, it is the pits!:(
Hope you feel better soon!

[Selkie]

Take care of yourself!

Mucinex -- I swear by it. Neti-pot rinse once a day. Lots of fluids and I take extra vitamin C and L-Lysine.

If all else fails, the Irish cure (whiskey, honey, and lemonade), then have a good night's sleep.

There is a silver lining - my baby cats (who are now 2!) leave wherever they are to come snooze with me on the bed. Kitty love is nice.

I have no brain cells - I've tried lesson planning, can't read or do cross stitch 'cause my head is too achy. I don't want to watch tv... Stupid sinus pressure. I'm looking forward to moving into the sneezing stage.

Hey, but my knee almost feels normal today!

[OakLeaf]

Aw, feel better soon.

mickchick, I swear by that Irish remedy. I had a lab mate who would bring a small flask of whiskey when I was sick and we would drink hot tea with lemon and honey and whiskey and slowly begin to think we were really smart :D Fortunately, we never tried to do science after out hot toddy experiences :rolleyes:

[Veronica]

And how much whiskey do I put into my tea? Although in my house it's Scotch instead. :D

As much as it takes to make you feel better? :D

Seriously though, I do between one-half and one ounce. Just enough to take the edge off without making me any loopier than I already am.
