So what, a person updates their site like everyday for three months and then skips three days and it’s like she’s dead? Nah. I just feel like I am. Living with a gaggle of Knee-high Infection DisseminatorS can really lay a person out. I’m a shut-in. I’m not used to all these germs. I long [...]

I’m not sure if this cold that has leveled me is karmic payback for being witness to the book burning or if it’s just the side-effects of a weakened immune system caused by being a shut in. What I do know is that I picked the bug up at Seamus’ party which was filled with [...]

Maybe if I just sit incredibly still and breathe then I won’t get sick. That’s what I keep telling myself. After two and a half hours I put dinner in the fridge, untouched. I convinced myself that I didn’t feel well because I haven’t eaten since lunch. A few pancakes later, I am not so [...]

The one good thing about being sick? You can do all those things you really want to do on a Saturday but always feel guilty doing because you should be out there Carpe Dieming the hell out of life.
But when you have a cold you can crawl into bed at 5 p.m. with your [...]

“You have garlic at home, right?”
“Yes, like a whole bulb.”
“Okay, here’s what you do. Slice ‘em up and swallow them like aspirin.”
“Just wash them down with water?”
“Yeah.”
“How many?”
“I don’t know. I usually do two or three, a few times a day.”
“Are you kidding?”
“No. It works.”
“I’d rather have the cold, thanks.”

My stomach and I are still not on speaking terms. Actually, it’s talking all the damn time, I’m just not talking to it. I was so sick and rundown last week that I even caved and went to the doctor. She thinks it’s probably stress or a virus. If it doesn’t get better in a [...]

Despite my begging, God saw fit to make me live another day. There were a few times during yesterday’s battle with the flu that I prayed for death, because that seemed so much easier. But since God has a sense of humor, he or she thought it’d be much more funny to keep me alive [...]

Well now I’ve done it. I’ve managed to make myself sick. I blame it on the Tibbles (a nickname that Sister #2 gave to Sister #3’s boys). Cade and Nolie were both sporting colds when I went over there on Wednesday. After two days of brewing the cold has leveled me. Spending some 12 hours [...]

so my bout of with food poisoning turned out to be the stomach flu (or as carrie said, gastroenteritis). while i was finally healthy enough to call my BFK and accuse her of trying to kill us at bookclub sunday night, i never had the chance. sister #2 (who was also sick) called to tell [...]

i thought i was over the canadian plague. i mean i was fever-free and totally coughless since about thursday. i was, ohmygod, healthy. it was glorious. it was beautiful. i nearly wept from the sheer plague-free joy.
but then i woke up this morning with the tell-tale harbinger of things that aren’t so good. i [...]

on my little sojourn north of the border i managed to pick up a mighty mean case of the canadian plague. this plague has knocked me right on my ass leaving me incapable of doing little besides making out mike, my penguin and sleeping. it’s not so much fun. not fun at all.
i was [...]

last night at grumpy’s i had an utterly delightful conversation with a couple of germaphobe/hypochondriac’s. i am not afraid to say that one of them is Kelly (who i incidentally had a crazy dream about last night). she even told me how she once slept over at a boyfriend’s house and slept on top of [...]
