Staying cheerful when feeling lousy...

[jjkOC]

So, I finally caught the cold that my family has been suffering from, and feel like my body was crushed by a bulldozer! Even the weather is gloomy-gray outside...

What do you do to stay cheerful, when you are sick and feeling lousy??

Look at orchid catalogs!

Look? pfff... Buy!

Look at orchid catalogs!

A hug from my Huz...

Hugs from the Scot, kisses from the dogs and drugs. Standing in the greenhouse seems to clear my nose a bit...
find a greenhouse. I've a cold as well. Hell, ain't it?!

So, two people in this thread believe in sharing their cold with their close ones. Shared misery, misery halved? :wink:

Just kidding.


Eh... I think I just feel sorry for myself, then I call my mother so she can laugh at me because I usually sound funny when I try to talk.

 

[jjkOC]

Yes, I confess I've been looking at catalogs! But refraining from buying during my half-salient state...I'm likely to go overboard!

Look? pfff... Buy!

 

[jjkOC]

Carol I agree... The YouTube videos from OL are nice!

Dot, aww that's so sweet, but on a public health note, I chuckle with The Mutant...though It seems that if anyone were to laugh at my voice right now it wouldn't matter because my ears are so blocked up I can't hardly hear a thing!

I really wish I could have restful night-time sleep, that would be one of my wishes, if I could borrow Aladdin's magic lamp. But, I think having a sick infant, who is also feeling miserable and wants to nurse every 4 hrs makes this wish seem impossible...maybe when he gets better, sleep will become more of a reality

I have been spending time breathing steam from the warm-mist humidifier...I guess I can imagine that I'm in a greenhouse...maybe one of those art nouveau-style ones with the tall dome glass roof! That would be nice!

Thanks everyone for your ideas, it's so nice to read your comments; that cheers me up

 

[NYEric]

Feel better.

 

[jjkOC]

Thanks NYEric!

A little Vick's salve in the humidifer wouldn't hurt...well,
it might change the greenhouse image a bit. I'd imagine
having a youngun' and a cold is misery defined. You have
my empathy, Jeniffer.

BTW, I was given the cold by the Scot and dogs don't
get colds. Damn! Nobody around to pass it along!

 

[jjkOC]

The Vick's is a good idea, I think there's even a port for this.

Thanks abax, you get better soon too! And I guess being a dead-end host for your cold virus isn't a consolation when you want company...

No one mentioned a little shot of brandy. : ) Stay warm and some good old chicken soup.

Watching a favorite movie with a few drinks. Brandy does me good any time whether I'm sick or not.

Some of the Hispanic people I've worked with suggest tequila but that in particular never did me any good whatsoever

I'm allergic to alcohol of any kind damnitall. My ma always
rubbed a bit of Vick's on my chest and in the vaporizer. That might help your baby to breathe a little easier and
be less cranky. Chicken soup is Jewish pcn!
