I've got a terrible flu. Swine flu? Who knows. All I know is that it's wearing out it's welcome. I've slept tons, which usually helps, but still this thing hangs on.
Here are a few necessities I've used to get through it so far:
- Rosebud Salve (for the Rudolph nose. Apply generously every night and your nose won't get so dry and irritated. If you don't have this already, get some. I use this stuff every day for dry lips and cuticles. It's amazing.)
- Puffs Plus Kleenex
- Excedrin (For the blazing headache)
- Tylenol Cold (When the runny nose is out of hand)
- Robitussin (When the cough and chest congestion sets in)
- Listerine (To soak my toothbrush in between frequent brushings)
- Visine (To sooth burning eyes. Come to think of it, maybe I have the plague.)
- Cold, damp washcloth (for the forehead when the fever was approaching 103)
- Cranberry juice mixed with 7-Up (Ginger Ale is preferable but apparently the rest of the world got hold of before I could. I've pretty much lived on this concoction for the past 4 days)
- Coal Miner's Daughter, Smokey & The Bandit and Vampyr (I know It's a strange line up but this is what cable has had to offer during waking hours.)
- The Hunger Games (I seem to read a book every time I'm really sick. This is what I read this time. I liked it.)
- The most comfy bed in the world

Wow, you have stocked up on everything. So sorry you are sick...and just before your birthday. Hope you feel better soon!!
Oh, Lucy! I'm sorry you're so sick. I guess a movie tonight is out of the question, eh? Get better soon -- by Friday, at the latest!
