My sinuses are running like a damn faucet. Coughing up crud like a squeezebox. Low grade fever. Got to get better. Right here at Christmas ...

Bummer.

I had one of those weird dreams where I'm falling into darkness that gets blacker and blacker, like death. I've had these for years, whenever I've got a fever. I wake up in a cold sweat.

You do NOT want this. Trust me.

get well soon. I never seem to run fevers for some reason. The last fever I had was a couple of years ago and that was like 99.9.

Please take care of yourself, and chase those damn bugs away!

Fluids, and rest...your body will kill the virus.

Get you some soup.
If there is a Jewish Deli near you, get your ass there and get a pint or two of chicken noodle soup.

I get this approx once a year, whether I get a shot or not. Is it the flu? I don't know. All i know is I've got a fever, coughing up crud, nose running like a faucet, aches, feel like poopy. A Z-pack usually knocks it out.

Of course, that means I've gotta go to the doc to get a scrip for a Z-pack..
