Upon the return from my fabulous weekend away, I was, promptly, stricken with a cold. I swear, I am the only person I know who is plagued with a cold every summer. My throat is cut up, my nose is runny, I have a headache, a fever, have made multiple visits to the bathroom and up until an hour ago, I could do little more than lie horizontally, and complain to Rachael over IM.
Now, I am feeling quite a bit better. And here is why:
- I’m sitting in my livingroom with a giant fan oscillating around me. The fan makes me cold, then moves away to prevent me from becoming too cold!
- I’ve made some pasta and cheese! Pasta and cheese is one of my favourite foods. I finally felt well enough to try to choke some down, and actually enjoyed it. “Starve a fever, feed a cold,” they say, and I’ve decided to give that old adage a go.
- I have a fizzy drink. BURN, THROAT, BURN!!!! I normally dislike pop. The carbonation makes my eyes burn, and gives me a headache (I often open a can of pop and let it sit for a day until it is flat. I love flat pop.). And, in general, they are far too sweet for me to handle on a regular basis. But, I definitely enjoy them when I have a sore throat. Long live the tingly burn.
- I’ve put on a chick flick. I love girly movies! Tonight I opted for “The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants.” I’ve just re-read a few of the books from the series, in anticipation for the 2nd film which is coming out quite soon. I love this movie. I cry within the first few minutes– when Bee runs away from her mother’s funeral.
Obviously, I have my laptop as well, to provide a link to the outside world. My parents have gone off to the Sneek-a-Peek night at the Stampede, which is our 10-day rodeo/ carnival/ festival-type thingy. I’m quite bummed that I couldn’t go, but I’m pleased to be surrounded by some of my favourite things. Besides, it is unlikely I will miss out on the fun, I get to dress like a cowgirl for the next week and a bit at work. Check the Flickr for pics! Ha ha.
So, tell me, what do you do when you’re feeling under-the-weather?
LOL, I do all those things too pretty much. :P
Haha that’s great. Glad you’re feeling better. Nice pics btw! <3
I love the oscillating fans, haha, the too cold, not too cold, too cold, not too cold is good. And ugh, flat pop!? I like my pop fizzy, heh. The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants is such a great movie.. Alexis Bledel is so gorgeous!
When I feel under the weather I sit around at home and drink soup and sleep, haha.
I don’t do chick flicks, but a can of fizzy pop sounds good.
Awww, I love the sisterhood of the traveling pants. I watch that movie whenever I want to cry, haha.
When I’m sick, I usually lie around wanting to die. And watch lots of TV. Thankfully it’s been a long time since I’ve been sick, but still - I make it an even more miserable experience, if that were possible. :P
I’m glad you’re feeling better.
Awweee! I’m sorry to hear you’re under the weather! make sure you’re getting fluids other than pop my dear. Pop is a diarrhetic, so you’ll need to replenish that w/ water or apple juice etc. And eat some garlic dear, it strengthens the immune system.
my all time fav movie i watch when i’m sick is “you’ve got mail”. i just love it! i’ll never get sick of watching meg ryan and tom hanks fall in love ^^
Happy Be-lated Canada btw!
T.T I hope you get better soon! When I’m sick, I eat and stares at my laptop (: (:
I hope you get well soon.
