Me Time

I hope all of you are having a good Sunday afternoon. Your gurl is so nasally and stopped up. It's definitely a head-cold. I'm still hoarse, I can't smell anything, taste anything and my ears are clogged. I've been taking aspirin and drinking a variety of juices. I got out last night for a bit, and it probably didn't help the situation.

I think I'm going to get away for a few days. Bags are packed! I need complete space and time to just chill. It would be great to be in Wisconsin right about now looking out at Lake Superior or mingled in the mountains of Colorado, or in a high-rise looking out on the Atlantic Ocean.

My feeling bad and not being able to taste, eat, talk or smell is really driving me out of my wits – and being a person who doesn't like to take a bunch of meds is probably not making this any better either. I just want to chill with absolutely no phone calls, doorbells, people stopping over, etc. I need some me time.

And I'm gon' get it.

Still got the Sniffles

 

What's good everyone? A couple of days ago, I began to get sick and felt maybe it was my sinuses, but it turns out it's one of those Fall colds. Yesterday while at work, I had fever all day. When I got in, I took 2 aspirin and drank some orange juice. My throat eased up as well, but today it's dry and has me hoarse again. I believe I may have ear infections in both ears. Y'all I get those periodically. Some time ago, my doctor told me kids get these, not adults. Oh well!

I know the symptoms all too well. I think it's all in the same family as my sinuses as to why I get them.  Itchy, painful, clogged feeling and minimal hearing. I'll ride this thing out for a few more days on OJ and OTC meds, and if the ears get worse, and the fever returns, I'll get to a doctor. Remember that toddy I had the other day? It knocked out those body aches.

Other than that, I'll be in the studio most of the day. I've been invited to an Open Mic poetry gig tomorrow night in Lafayette, LA. I think I may try to make it to do some networking.

Y'all be good ya here…

Hot Toddy – Lady’s Sick!

Two days ago, I began to feel my throat a bit agitated. It seemed more like a sinus problem. This morning, I woke with a dry throat and hoarseness. As the day grew, I became sicker. My body started to ache and my throat began to feel worse. I developed fever and chills. I did make it through the day at work, although it was difficult. A co-worker mentioned trying a hot toddy. She told me the ingredients and told me to get into bed after drinking it.

I stopped at the store and bought the goods. Y'all know the Ea.rly Ti.mes will definitely be around the house for a WHILE. I tried to find a smaller bottle, but uhm, I wasn't going to store-hop to find it either.

I cooked up the brew in the microwave and added the honey and whiskey afterwards. (Gotta love the convenience) The weather is a bit nippy, and as I type this post; I am sipping on my mug of whiskey, lemon juice, peppermint, and honey. It's soothing and it's going to put me to bed soon.

I haven't eaten any dinner – well I don't want any. I just want to feel better. This stuff feels like it's working. Well, I'm a bit – well you know – relaxed!

Love ya.

Tummy Hurts

What's good everyone? I'm not feeling well today. I think it's an ulcer issue. It burns bad. It's been a while since I've had a flare up.  It started around 5ish this morning. I may go into work later, 'cause they are short-handed with management, but then I may and probably need to just lie here in bed and rest. Besides, the day is almost over anyway.

I hope you're having a wonderful adventurous day.

It's Ya gurl…
