Mouth breather
My mouth and throat feel as if they are made of that thick cotton that comes stuffed down inside your bottles of supplements. I’m riding the NyQuil train again and it didn’t unplug my nose so much as stop it from dripping across my face and soaking the pillow or running down my throat (which I despise and will avoid at all costs because there’s nothing nastier than waking up with a stomach full of sick snot).
Good morning! You’re welcome!
This appears to be a head/nose/chest thing—that cough I’ve been sporting since two weeks before Thanksgiving is intensifying. But I’m also hoping it moves quickly. Chris got over the worst of it in three or four days.
And can I just say what a terrific week to get sick again? Just peachy. When I haven’t shopped for anyone in Chris’ family or for my brother and boxes going east must get in the mail by tomorrow morning at the latest if I want them to arrive for Christmas (which I do). Haven’t wrapped a thing, am out of tape and out of food which isn’t cool because we have the babysitter here all week. Today I will leave her with cash and ask her to take the kid out for lunch.
Tyler (who also has this nasty head cold thing) still needs to shop and is leaving on Sunday at the crack of dawn to go to NY to spend the holiday with his dad. So we’ll be going out tonight no matter what—to knock down his small list and hopefully the rest of mine and a quick/truncated grocery shop. Then home to have dinner and wrap. Note to self: put tape, tags and ribbon on your list.
But yes, life is still good. Somewhere under all of this mucous.

Just surfed in, as im home from work sick….the only thing that alleviated the mucous was to take mucinex, and drink tons of hot tea with lemon…im not an antibiotic person, but if i continue much longer im going to give in. Good luck, try the mucinex, i think it works better than the nyquil. feel better

Get some Golden Seal (Hydrastis) into you, girl. Tincture is best, but capsules will do, especially if you can get a blend with some echinacea/zinc/vitamin C. I swear it will kick yor bug and have you fortified for winter. Feed the family on it… it’s nature’s cure-all!
