It hit me like a ton of bricks.

It hit me like a ton of bricks.


It's official, yesterday's laryngitis has developed into full-on cold.

It comes complete with eyes that won't stop watering, runny nose, and sore throat.

Fantastic!!

I can't wait until I go to the Business to Business meeting today where everyone is going to avoid me like I just stepped off the plane from China with the Coronavirus.

I'm sure a portion of my body aches and pains are a result of this.... But I also know a good portion of them are from the elliptical machine last night when I thought I was going to collapse and die 15 minutes into my 30 minute cycle.

I know now that part of that was because I was probably already starting to feel run down and ill but didn't realize it as I'm sure it progressed over the course of the entire day slowly enough that it was unnoticeable.

Thankfully I have an office that I can sequester myself in the good majority of the day....

Thankfully I have decent cold medication that seems to be helping me already this morning....

It appears you have just received an undesired sexual experience.

    Do you still need that all body massage?😘
I can't sleep tonight.... I took too much Dayquil, I think. That massage would be amazing.

The Dubliners - "The Sick Note"

Dear Sir, I write this note to you to tell you of me plight
And at the time of writing, I am not a pretty sight;
Me body is all black and blue, me face a deathly gray
And I write this note to say why Paddy's not at work today.
While working on the fourteenth floor some bricks I had to clear;
Now, to throw them down from such a height was not a good idea.
The foreman wasn't very pleased, he beeing an awkward sod
He said I'd have to cart them down the ladders in me hod.
Now, clearing all these bricks by hand it was so very slow,
So I hoisted up a barrel and secured the rope below.
But in me haste to do the job I was to blind to see
That a barrelful of building bricks was heavier than me

    wear one of those hospital 🏥 masks... the way they do in Asia or Japan 🇯🇵. THAT way... you'll be excused from the meeting.
    Try and slouch and paint dark circles under your eyes 👀.
    Yep... if you're gonna be sick - might as well milk 🥛 it! 👍 ❗💚
I ended up not going... I didn't have to paint any dark circles under my eyes, they were there naturally. LOL I must have looked kind of terrible because everyone kept asking if I was sick.

    oh lordy, what ever is going around here absolutely sucks. Been sick a week. As for the laryngitis, I once had pretty much just that for 3 long weeks ... the worst thing you can do apparently is whisper. Best thing is not talk at all, and try not to ahem as much as is possible as those make it all worse. GEt better soon with all that is ailing you!!
The voice is back, thank God, I'm just all stuffed up and sinusy right now. My nose is already starting to get all red and chapped.... I'm going to have to invest in the kleenex with lotion.

    I have something brewing right now. Every joints aches. I got a flu culture done on Friday and it was negative. Pay attention to this bug- it has settled in my chest and most likely will last 3 weeks. Keep your hands clean and off you face.
    Hope you feel better really soon- this is the pit
I'm sorry to hear you are sick too! The cold medication seems to be helping as long as I don't let it wear off. I rarely ever get sick, but everyone has the crud at work right now. It was only a matter of time. Ugh...

    If you're achy, it may not be a cold. Might be a flu bug. Probably not the coronavirus....unless you've been to China or been exposed to someone who has the virus. But it still sucks that you're not feeling well. Might be a good thing to get checked for flu, though, and possibly get one of the anti viral meds that can help shorten the duration of the hell you've just entered.
    Hopefully you'll be feeling better soon!
The cold medication seems to be helping, but I'm going to watch it closely. I definitely don't want to spread anything.

    Friday night my throat dried out and I knew it was coming. I thought I had the flu but turns out it's just a bad cold.I use Theraflu.
That's what I'm using.... Works fairly decent. It's my first cold all winter so I consider myself lucky.
