Dear the rest of us,
One of you gave me a present, and since so many of you showed up over the last week glowing with
friendship fever, I have no idea who to thank for the fact that my weekend is being spent praying to die. I have so far lost 45 lbs between vomitting and sleep sweats, and my upper back and abs are now super ripped because of the extreme wrenching due to a cough so powerful it shakes pictures from the walls. Squee. You've already been so generous, but I really
must ask~ could you please do me one small future favor and stay your feverish contagious sick ass at home so as to not to spread the wealth among your friends/colleagues/enemies/random passersby/strangers who have never harmed you in any way? Because honestly I'm more than a little pissed at you right now.
Love,
Mad enough to swear.
~~
Armed with a growing suspicion that my early on chills in the wee hours Saturday morning were the beginning of a fever I ran up to the drug store to grab Kleenex, Nyquil, Tussin DM, and Cat food.
15 minutes later I came home with Kleenex, Nyquil, Tussin DM, and Stove Eye Covers.
Because they rhymed.

Thank God for friends who will later leave freshly squeezed orange juice, noodle soup and catfood on your doorstep. They are total keepers.

I will draw the bead winners tomorrow. Unless I'm dead. If that happens I probably won't draw them until Wednesday.
I feel your pain.... shame on your friends for not getting the flu shot, I hope you got yours, if you did you will survive! What are stove eye covers? Feel better soon....
ReplyDeleteI'm a "non-flu-shot" kinda gal and I think I've only had the flu once in my life.
ReplyDeleteHaving said that - I stay the hell home if I have a cold - which doesn't happen very often.
People going places and coughing and sneezing and puking piss me off too.
I hope you feel better soon.
The up side is the weight loss although 45 lbs? Really? hahahaha
Ok so this is the deal....I want to send soup but it would be frozen by the time it makes it to the post office (it's 7 this morning) the same thing might happen to the orange juice but that might be good for your throat! But by the time it gets to you you will no longer need it.....so I am sending hugs and orders that you go directly to bed and cover up!
ReplyDeleteI hope you are better soon.!
Oh, I sooo feel your pain! I am just recovering from a week of hating the (unknown) person who gave this sh_ _ to me! Stay warm. Drink plenty of water. This too shall pass.
ReplyDelete:( Wellness vibes being sent your way!!!! Hope you feel better soon. (fantastic disapproval pic btw!)
ReplyDeleteJuls - I just enabled the follow-up box for my email.
ReplyDeleteJeez - who knew it was that easy.
Everyone seems to be getting sick! I'm so sorry you have the flu :( What a sucky way to lose weight :P FEEL BETTER SOON! I DEMAND IT!
ReplyDeleteOh, I do hope you feel better soon. Do you think I could have gieven it to you from my keyboard? Because I am just gettining over a nasty one.
ReplyDeleteAwwww, Juls, feel better! Amen for Chicken Noodle Soup friends! It's an extreme way to go for 6-pack abs I'd say.
ReplyDeleteSending you healing energy!!
{Hugs!}
Sweetie...so sorry that you are in the cruds. And if I lived anywhere near you I would be leaving little bundles of joy on your doorstep too. I am so glad that you have those sort of friends. Because I don't even know what Stove Eye Covers are!
ReplyDeleteOops - didn't realize I'd get all the emails every time someone comments on your blog.
ReplyDeleteNot that I don't find them fascinating but . . . not into the whole bus-load o' emails thing so getting ready to un-check that little box.
Ohhhh man there is nothing worse than feeling like you do. I will light a candle for you so you will heal faster. As for me I never get a flu shot. I never get the flu either. Just stay in bed and get some rest.
ReplyDeleteI would hug you butttttt....

so sorry you got the flu..what is it with people not staying home when they are sick..
ReplyDeleteHey Ya'll no one wants your nasty germs!
feel better soon.
I have somehow managed to elude this flu bug even without a shot! I keep moving, crafting, running around, just hoping it won't catch up to me!
ReplyDeleteAll kidding aside...I hope you feel better soon. Drink something (nonalcoholic, I mean), eat something you don't feel like puking up and feel better!
You're a poor wee scone! We only get the flu shot in this country if we have a chronic illness (asthma =me!) or are old or young. So glad your friends are bringing soup and juice and other goodness! Take care Juls x
ReplyDeletebless your sweet heart....a shot of tequila may help....(smiles)
ReplyDelete~Sharon~
Get Well Soon Juls. I got my Bird today. Thank You so much! I love him. I will be posting about him later on my blog. I don't have the flu but I work night shift and sometimes when I wake up I feel like my face has been run over by a salt truck! Keep it real or unreal, I'll let you decide. Be looking for a special gift headed your way soon for all the goodness and happiness you bring us fellow beaders. Just my way of saying THANK YOU!
ReplyDelete45lbs and ripped abs?? The people you send away from your house can happily visit me at mine :)
ReplyDeletei don't mean to laugh at your being sick..but this was just too funny of a post and too true of a post!! Thanks for the huge belly laugh.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry that you are sick. I am one that never gets a flu shot as every I have in the past, I have gotten the blasted thing.
ReplyDeleteWhen I do get though, I keep telling myself that at least I will lose weight. Now I would love to lose 45 lbs.
