the_sick_of_blather_unite the therapist is in. whatever way you want to take "sick"... Those of us suffering from the most invisible of physical dangers... well, we need a goddamn support group! So, share your feelings. We're here to help. 020216 ... silentbob my friends were supposed to stop by before they left town, but they never showed. help me recover from the disappointment 020216 ... bethany ahhh yes the being dissed by group of friends.....but far worse is the... friend comes to cisit from england and is having party at bar with all other friends and you are told about it but only legal people are going ...but then you find out that they rearranged party for almost legals can attend but some one forgotto tell you so you're alone all night after the valentines day you were dumped. -ok but being left hanging really sucks too. 020216 ... chanaka *SNEEZE* *drip* 020217 ... blown cherry He's been sick for something like weeks now. Of course, I'm sure being drunk on anti biotics isn't doing him any good either, but I'm sure the soaking wet bed isn't helping at all. I wish he'd get better. He's happier when he doesn't feel like shit. 020217 ... blue star I went in to work yesterday. Hooray for Barnes and Noble! the corporate bastards don't really care how I'm feeling, as long as they get their cash money. So I'm struggling to hold back sneezes and coughs from hot chocolates and lattes and the young mothers are looking at me like I have the plague and my coworkers are pissed cuz they're thinking they're gonna get sick, too. i'm just pissed off cuz we had an all store meeting today at 8am on a fuckin sunday... those always get to me. 020217 ... bethany hey bookseller! i work for them too! how's those best sellers 020217 ... little wonder i wasn't in school yesterday because i didn't want to be. today i think i may have to go home, because i'm not feeling well. but i need to get things done here before my little trip. what to do... 020219 ... Photophobe Red IF you people are all sick of blather, then what are you doing here? 020328 ... silentbob its not sick of blather its the people of blather that are sick 020328 ... Photophobe yeah I know. comedy. 020329 ... blown cherry When I woke up this morning my voice had been replaced by Joe Cockers. Lasted for at least two hours, and it's still not right, and my throat is sore. I think I must have caught a bug on the weekend. 020513 ... little wonder this morning all i could think was "if someone offered to remove my uterus for me right now, i'd kiss them and tell them to not hesitate another second." i have never felt so awful in my entire life. i couldn't move, i couldn't talk...i could barely breathe. i had no colour to my face. i couldn't focus my eyes. eventually i just passed out on the couch. when i woke up most of the horrible-ness was gone, just a little pain left. i still wouldn't mind so much if someone offered to remove my uterus. 020513 ... blue star I called in sick to work today... and then I actually got sick. How ironic is that? I call in so I can get some fucking homework done, and then I get hit with THIS shit... it's my last fucking week of high school... it couldn't wait a week or so? for christ's sake... 020513 ... silentbob i feel awful last night i had chills and a horrible stuffed headcold that wasn't running or anything. it was just hell. today i am weak without food and wary from any slight movement. and i have to move out on wednesday 020513 ... blown cherry Stomach pains, very painful swallowing motion, and glands you could happily play golf with, not to mention it being 5:30am and there are still another 2000 words to write before 8 o'clock. I'm stuffed! 030612 ... raze my qualifications are slim but include a gun being intermittently fired at my glottis, whose bullets seem to keep hitting the chest cavity (learn how to aim that thing, invisible marksman), and the bone-weary, tired-all-over feeling your body will adopt when you have a stupid cold. i hereby decree myself a member of the club. 130903 ... epitome of incomprehensibility Pains from coughing are miserable and I can't do anything about that, but for a sore throat fresh ginger helps. You can cut it in small slices and add it to lemon tea. Or if you don't have ginger, honey mixed with lemon tea is also good. Or honey mixed with whatever cough medicine, e.g. Buckley's. (e_o_i the old medicine woman crouches over her cauldron nodding wisely, having suffered many sore throats through her long, allergy-prone years) 130903 ... raze thank you, wise medicine woman. :) i've been drinking chamomile tea with lemon, and it's definitely been helping. and i remember buckley's! i always got a kick out of the honesty of their advertising — how they didn't even try to pretend the stuff didn't taste horrifying. 130903 ... raze i thought i might get lucky and avoid the massive communal cold everyone's been getting lately, but it got me in the end. the good news is, so far it hasn't moved into my ears and the congestion has been manageable. i don't mind colds so much as long as they don't muffle my hearing for a week. so here's to using this cold as an opportunity to catch up on some things i've been meaning to read, watch, and listen to, hopefully without sneezing on too many of them in the process. 150106 what's it to you? who go blather from
