    SELF INDULGENT PITY PARTY WHINE ALERT

    I'm still sick. Slept until 1:00 this afternoon. Tried to call work to see how things were going, and they had the answering machine on. Usually that means things aren't going well. (can't spare anyone to answer the phone, so it all goes directly to the machine)

    This is one weird cold. I feel worse today than y'day. My body hurts, my head wants to explode, sore throat, nausea, watery eyes, but no coughing or runny nose yet. And still have the anti-fever.

    I'm craving Clif lemonade electrolytes. I'm sure that's from all this discussion of electrolytes and black toenails.

    I'm not craving black toenails, however.....

    Maybe it's not a cold??? You should drink some Endurance Gatorade- that would probably taste good to you. I also love pineapple juice when I have a sore throat, or gargling with apple cider vinegar.

    Sorry you aren't feeling better yet.

    Nanci - I like the new avatar! Nice picture!

    WARNING: PITY PARTY CONTINUES!!!

    Wondering if I have the flu. Darn it all, it's beautiful here, could've had a great couple of commutes and maybe an evening ride or two over the last two days!!!! PHOOOOOEEEEY!

    Had to leave the house this afternoon to go get cough drops and coke and my MRI CD for my cancer check-up tomorrow. I was not walkin' pretty and didn't stay out long. Felt like I was gonna fall asleep at the red lights.

    Craving coke, which seems to be staying where it belongs ok. Not so much the Clif, but I hate to dump it out.

    How long can it last in the fridge, if you've been drinking from it?

    KN, sorry you're feeling so sick! Sure sounds like the flu. Lay low, drink or eat what you can stand, this will pass. If it's a virus, it usually takes 7-10 days, seriously, to be done with. Sugar/salt/water can probably sit out of the frig for awhile, but not overnight, I'd guess. When in doubt, throw it out.

    Nanci--what a cheerful picture! You must not be grumpy! That pigeon doesn't look like he'd bite at all! L.

    Knottedyet - I think you gave me your cold! Hopefully I don't get the full blown yucks like you have. I have been developing a nice conjested head and runny nose all day. I pretty much can't breathe through my nose right now. I'm not achy - hopefully that stays. I have to go to work tomorrow. Might not be a full day. In-laws are coming into town also.

    Nanci - love the new avatar. I need to get a new one AND a signature line. Someday I'll come up with one.

    Lise - any word from the men???

    fish...I was just sitting here thinking about it. Sober guy I didn't feel like I wanted to date, anyway, on reflection. Nothing bad, just nothing great. Photo guy I really do want to see again...This thing is so ... well, I can see why a book called "The Rules" was a big seller some years back. I never read it, but I do wish someone would forward me a copy of some "rules"

    Glad to hear you got in a great ride this morning. I was so wiped out from the long shift that I didn't even try to ride the bike. Tomorrow morning I run. For real. L.
