Well, I am well and truly and definitely sick now. I've been coughing for the last several days, and now the runny/stuffy nose has joined the party. I feel filthy no matter how much I shower and I'm dead freaking tired.

Oh, but I can't actually sleep. Last night I went to bed early, hoping to actually, you know, rest up and feel better. Oh no. I tossed and turned for hours, before finally getting to sleep somewhere around sunrise. But even then I couldn't get all the way to sleep, and had stupid half-conscious dreams that made no sense and in which I was still vaguely aware that I was sick, sick, siiiiiick. Now, that's just wrong. What's the freaking point of a dream if all it does is remind you that you still feel like crap?

And then my dad woke me up at 10. I told him I was still sick and he left me alone, but then? Then I couldn't GO BACK to sleep.

Fuck you, body. FUCK YOU. How are we supposed to get better if you WON'T SLEEP?

If you do get to sleep, do your best to sleep on your belly and lay a paper towel under your nose. You won't wake up with a sore throat (always a plus) and gunk will run out of your nose.

Have you gotten to the doctor? I had a bad cold last winter that turned out to be a series of six infections. Most of them happened simultaneously. It's probably a good thing they got the chest one cleared up.

Thanks for the tip! I think I toss and turn too much for that to be helpful, though - the position I fall asleep in is almost never the one I went to bed in, because I have to roll around for a couple hours before I can get comfortable and fall asleep.

I haven't gone to a doctor, no. This is actually pretty par for the course for my illnesses. I just complain the same each time. (I feel for you, though. Yowch. Six infections? Uuuugh.)

I know this sounds weird, but, it always makes me feel better to think that it could always be worse. Hope you manage to get some rest.

Thanks. :) I did, actually, and I'm feeling better today. Still not 100%, but definitely better than yesterday.

Well that's good. At the very least you are on the road to recovery.

*cuddles* Augh. Being sick at summer is crapness. Um, have you tried eucalyptus and iced mint tea?

My package should arrive any day now, hopefully it'll cheer you up a bit. *cuddles again, just 'cause*

I don't think we have any of that... I'm actually not much of a tea drinker at all, even. :/ Generally, I go for the chicken soup when I'm sick.

....eeeee! ♥ Hoorah! I've yet to send mine off, haven't yet had a chance to go out and buy your prickly pear nummies. I'm also missing part of the OTHER thing I'm gonna send, so until I get all that stuff... But rest assured, I will be sending it! ♥

... apparently, "any day now" translates to "the same day you get this comment"! EEEEEEE

The box is so cute! The chocolate arrived liquid, sadly, but some time in the fridge will fix that. The cloudberry candy is delicious - the licorice is quite tasty too, despite my not normally being a fan of it. :) I'll have to start on the book soon, it looks interesting!

EEE THANK YOU SO MUCH I'll try and get your stuff ready and sent soon~

My Timing Fu is mighty! :D

Hopefully the book will make being sick a bit more tolerable. Like I said on the card, it's a pretty easy read. Here's hoping you'll like it!

And you're very welcome, luvvie. Just you get better, and I'll try to get a bit less busy so that we can catch each other on MSN sometime this year. X)
