low grade fever is good...it "kills" what's in you......
do not reduce it or you will be sick longer.....just don't let it go much over 102.... |

Work called, they didn't get my message.
I called my supervisor and left the message on his phone. I waited until 8:10 to make sure he would be there, but still got the voice mail. The supervisor's supervisor called. I called her back. (I had fallen back asleep) But I couldn't reach her either, and had to leave a voice mail. Tried to reach my supervisor, still a machine..... No one is at their phones. |

This is TRUE. I was not the only one coughing all day yesterday. I heard 4 other voices. Not sure exactly who it was. We have all those cubicle walls up. And that was just in the area around me.

If I can get the fever down and the throat to feel better, I may go in the second half of the day. Skip work! Fill a glass 1/2 full of wiskey and1/2 full of HOT ginger ale. Drink it down as fast as posible and get under some good thick blankets. You will feel great the next days cause you sweated it out of your system. Good luck with it. ![]() ![]() |

No ginger ale.
But I just made the first hot toddy that ever tasted good. Used Pike Market Spiced Tea for my base. White rum. And copious amounts of sugar. |

The idea is to get the alcohol thru your system to sweat it out real good and stay covered up real good. You will turn your bed into a swamp, but stay covered up till morning. ![]() |
