Locked

a sick story

I've been really healthy all year, so I guess it should not be a surprise that my time has come.
I am sick.
It hit me like a freight train on Wednesday night.
Spent Thursday at home, in bed with Netflix and hot tea.
The thing is, I really wanted to spend time with B, because it had been a few days.
So we had a laundry and Chinese food party.
But I guess whatever virus is currently camping out with me is pretty potent.
Cause poor B woke up sick.
{maybe the fact that i was a whiny baby who insisted on cuddles was part of it. but it felt so nice!}

The thing with B, he is very opinionated.
{i think this is why we can be together, because i am very easy going and mellow}
He often {always} thinks he knows the best way to do things.
And when he is sick, he needs Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf Medicine Ball tea.
I have not tried this, because when I am sick, I prefer the drugs you get only after showing the pharmacist your ID.
But this morning, he just went on and on about this tea. And he was sick! I felt horrible.
So we went to CBTL.

And they did not have it.
B was very sad.
So we got some teas without magical powers and breakfast from Mustards next door.
Then he went to work and I went back to bed, where I watched 5 episodes of Storage Wars.

Do you have any magic trick for feeling better asap?
Do you go for drugs or wacky teas?

I always head straight to the drugs, but I usually pair that with plenty of OJ and homemade tea. I grew up on buying the herbs, boiling the water, and making it myself rather than buying little tea bags. So much more flavorful to me.

Hope you both feel better!

I usually go for the drugs first and then drown them with tea. Hope you two are feeling better soon!

Sleep, sleep, and more sleep. And maybe a little vitamin c for good measure.
I hope you feel better soon!!

My boyfriend and I are the same way, except in reverse (i'm usually very high strung, and he's always very mellow, but likes to think he knows best ;) ) When I am sick, I take mega-doses of Vitamin C tablets. Like, 2000-3000 mg. And i take a lot of naps. It usually helps in about a day or two :)
