It is mean…
…to make me sick on Christmas. Whoever did this should pay dearly.
…to make me wake up at 3:30am the day after Christmas. That cold medicine really should try harder to keep me knocked out until my alarm wakes me up.
…to make me have really fucked up dreams while sick. I just had a dream where a guy who seemed like Richard Dreyfuss but wasn’t turned a cop into those little styrofoam beads that fill beanbag chairs because the cop was trying to give him a ticket for making an illegal turn. And then while trying to bring the cop-in-beads-form outside to bury him he accidentally spilled the beads onto the floor of a building that was being renovated but he didn’t want to disturb the dustiness of the building so he just smeared the cop around on the floor a little with his foot. (SEE? DISTURBING.)
…to make me hungry in the wee hours of the night. My throat hurts and dairy would be a perfect midnight-nay-3:51am-snack but dairy and colds don’t tend to go together.
…to make me have to go to the doctor when I am sick. Just going for a checkup after I wasn’t feeling well overall-healthwise about two months ago. That’s when I started boosting up my protein intake and I started feeling waaaaaay better. Lack of protein really fucked with me. I had some very strange symptoms I’d rather not mention out loud, but try googling malnutrition symptoms and you’ll find some of my symptoms. I’m grumpy when I’m sick, and my doctor doesn’t deserve me being grumpy just because she wants to make sure I’m doing ok. Moral of the story: Eat more protein. (In the form of dairy and tofu, you sickos.)
My mind is too dirty at this hour. Going back to bed.
I am truly sorry that you don’t feel well. So much so that I am not even going to comment on the “protein” line.
Feel better soon! :love:
Poppy, I have a cold too
Cold medicine never works. Well, Nyquil in the bottle works but I don’t have any right now so I’ve been awake since 3 am.
I also went through malnutrition over the summer after all of my surgeries.
You just reminded me that I need to take vitamins and eat more protein.
Hope you feel better. Odd, but I got up early today as well. Everyone else is sleeping and I’m pounding keys in the dark. In my dream, a guy who looked like Harvey Keitel was popping bubble wrap to the soundtrack of Xanadu.
I’m sick too. I think its because I’m just drained emotionally and physically… not because I lack protein.
I would totally send you chicken soup with a protein bar… but you probably wouldn’t get it until you were better and the soup was cold.
A dirty mind is a terrible thing to waste… no matter the hour.
Fab, thank you. Feeling pretty champy after sleeping in.
Lisa, I’m starting to see a pattern. Did you get the Avi card too? He gave us his ninja sickness.
Dan, your dreams rock. I hope I get to borrow that one sometime.
Dawg, are you trying to out-sweet Fab? :winks: Hint: I do not like chicken.
I agree with Lisa; NyQuil in the bottle works wonders (for me, at least). It’s pretty poopy for my Poppy to be sick at Ecksmastime. Hope you feel better soon!
Benadryl. Take 2 of those. Nyquil never lasts through the night!!!
Feel better soon!!
Sour and Sybil, how about if I take Nyquil plus Benadryl? :grins:
I am sorry to hear you were under the weather. Hope you are feeling better now. I managed to get a head cold on Christmas eve but seem to have pretty much kicked it by the day after Christmas….guess it is a good thing I was spending Christmas alone this year….I just stayed in my room and watched movies…haha.
Mish, I was not lacking in the Christmas invitations department, but I did briefly consider cancelling all my plans when I woke up feeling super shitty on Christmas day. :smiles: If we were closer, and you wanted to do so, you could have come to my brother’s house. He’s good people.
Hey, at least you only have weird dreams when you take cold medicine.
You dream has NOTHING on my dreams that I have every fricken’ night without drugs…
Last night, my cousins and I went slopping through green muck under a bridge, and the green muck had “testicles”, but I called them something different (can’t remember), and we went around pulling hairs off of them, and upset the green sludge trolls. We then got a bacterial infection under our nails, and I was in some kind of sorority where I was scrubbing my nails trying to get the bacteria off. Then I was in an office building where my therapist was upstairs, and all my friends and family from the past lived below. And there are always snakes, driving on roads that are like roller coasters, some kind of boat, some kind of ocean, and some kind of humiliating and deprecating event.
Lots of sickness around. Just got through with strep myself and still have this nagging cough that I might need to get checked out if it lasts longer than the antiobiotics.
And who made you sick?
Abs, I don’t envy you your dreams. Mine this morning was a guy I knew from teenagerhood who was getting a breast augmentation and the doctors were making fun of him. They eventually had a food fight and the guy got hit in the eye with a plate.
Wah, I am absolutely convinced Avi’s holiday card gave me my cold since so many other bloggers who got his card are sick. (Actually, for reals, yo, I’m pretty sure it was PiC. His family was sick before they left and he touched Ripley when he gave me his house keys, then I touched her. So… nothing exciting, sorry.)
