My throat was a little itchy this week.
Which is hilarious, really.
Because I have no time to get sick.
Like none.
Not that anyone really does, but you understand, right?
It could be all the travel weekends. Or maybe the public transit every day. Or my long hours/deadlines wearing me down. Or an office full of people in a competition to see who can hack up a lung first.
I swear it’s going to be the guy in the cube near me who’s going to win that one.
Anyway, this is somewhat disappointing because I was just discussing how I rarely get sick. Even head colds don’t happen but maybe once a year. So let’s hope that’s what this is and I’m just getting it out of the way early.
However, I’m fully aware that my time is up to get an evil round of the flu. It usually happens ever 3-4 years and it’s been over 4. My time is up.
Mental note: stock up on meds soon.
Anyway, luckily today I woke up a little less stabby. I guess the few days of skipping the gym to sleep longer and chugging green tea have helped.
Green tea and kit kats. The cure-all for everything.
Here’s hoping I’m 100% recovered by tomorrow.
It is the weekend, after all.
Happy Friday, kids!

Ahh, feel better sweets! Chocolate makes everything better.
I have to get a flu shot this year, absolutely dreading it. bleck!
I haven’t had a flu shot for 8 years… I know… really living on the edge…
And not just any Kit Kat…the white chocolate one, which is obvi the best. I guess the tea is good too.
Did you know they have a “halloween” kit kat as well? It’s just white chocolate. Dyed orange. However, i feel that still allowed me to try both…
Feel better! I’ve found that copious amounts of cookie dough seem to help with colds. Worth a shot.
Have a good weekend!
I heard that, too. I currently have a spoon in the pb jar and a glass of wine around here somewhere. I’m weird.
I said the same thing last week, but everyone at work was hacking all over the place. I had the attractive cough and runny nose/itchy eyes for a couple days, but lots of sleep and good food/tea knocked it out pretty quick. Get well soon!
Thanks dude. If good food= candy, we’re in luck!
As long as it’s this weekend… and not NEXT weekend, right?!?!!
Seriously though, hope you feel better STAT! I was amazed at how long I had gone w/o getting sick, then a little kid got me sick. And it suuuuuucked.
Seriously… although I did run St. Louis half with a head cold – miserable!
I can pretty much count on the fact that after saying I never get sick, I will get sick! Hope you feel better SOON!
Isn’t that how it always happens? Ugh… lol. And thanks.
It sucks when you can actually see it coming! I’m a freak for wiping things off constantly because I DON’T want to get sick! My kids are definitely germ factories when they get home from school too. So, between the gym, the store and the two different schools the kids attend…I feel doomed during this season! I hope you feel better soon!
Maybe your immunities will be built up? Let’s just go with that… lol
Good luck not getting full-blown sick. After all, you’ve gotta be well for that date of yours. (I was going to say “hot date,” but I’m not sure if a museum date qualifies??? jk)
Hot and heavy at the museum… yeah…
If you read this today on msnbc: “Recent estimates reveal that Neanderthal DNA makes up 1 percent to 4 percent of modern Eurasian genomes, perhaps endowing some people with the robust immune systems they enjoy today.” you may think twice about not wanting to be sick. Being sick means your ancestors most likely didn’t hook up with Neanderthal’s. – Just broadening your horizens today Baxsy. – Mon.
well. thanks. lol. Love you.
Mmmm, white kit kats are THE best! Behind Twix, of course!
SO good. I do love me some twix, though…
Who am I kidding? i just really love candy…
Feel better friend! The flu is terrible. I refuse to let you have that. You’re welcome.
Thank you for keeping the flu from me. You are the best friend ever.
I got hit with a cold this week too- it’s going around chick! Drink up that tea and hold on tight!
I hope you’re coming out of it as well! Just in time for the weekend, right?
my cure for everything is m&ms. i like your style. feel better soon and get your ass some wine tonight!
oohhh… i had them earlier in the week… let’s hope they help!
Hope you feel better! ‘Tis the season I suppose…get lots of rest!
Tis the season… the one downfall of public transit… damnit.
Hope you’re on the mend! As tough as it is to drink, Theraflu works like a charm. And it’ll put you into a Theraflu induced sleep for hours.
Sleep… I like sleep… hmmmm….
HOW do you avoid getting sick every year? I always seem to catch whatever is going around…
Feel better!!
hope you’re feeling better! I hate that feeling when you can feel a cold coming on but are too late to stop it.
Green tea really does make me feel better! Placebo effect I guess? Who knows…who cares. Hope you are feeling better now!
