Jane got safely delivered back to the airport Sunday morning. Her husband is gonna get an ear-ful next year if he books her another early flight. I could still see the friggin moon in the sky when I got up to drive to the beach to pick her up.
We did manage to avoid the teary good-bye at the security gate however. She got picked for a "random pat-down". She was wearing a short-ish little dress. I could not stop laughing. I'm sure she felt differently - but it was just the diversion I needed. Last year, as I was walking away from the gate with sad tears streaming down my face, some stupid old man stopped to mock me. Heartless asshole!
Although I miss her, I am hoping my pace will slow down this week and I can shake this cold. I have zero energy.
I did like some of your ideas for remedies. Several of you suggested a hot toddy. I did tweek your suggestions on the weekend and substituted for cold beer. It was strictly for medicinal purposes as I hoped it would flush any toxins from my body. (hehehehehe Are you guys buying that??)
Anyway, I am still here and will be trying to get back in the groove ASAP.
Poor you....so the sore throat became a full-fledged summer cold, hey? Oh so not fun....I'm not really sure beer would flush out the toxins as well as say perhaps a nice stiff glass of Sapphire....or maybe even some Dewars?? Those germs are mighty powerful and probably should use something strong to fight 'em.... ;o) I was meaning to talk to you about that elf thing - see, he was actually here a while back and ravaged my entire house it seems, so I sent him packing....Didn't think he'd head your way! Glad sis got off ok - I truly can't believe someone would mock someone crying...Geesh....That's gonna bug me all day! Hope you get to feeling better Sweetie....Try and have a good (and restful) week. Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin
ReplyDeleteYou are so funny. I love the friggin moon part. :) Well get well and I do hope your day improves and you get to get some sleep. I am glad that you will be going on vacation soon.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear from you! I know how you feel...my brain is mush most days!!
ReplyDeleteKim, I do hope you are feeling better, could there be anything worse than a summer cold? why yes, a summer cold and trying to enjoy one's company, especially when time is of the essence. Hope you are on the up swing. Sending well wishes from Maine, Julie.
ReplyDeleteWell Kim, I hope that you will be all better soon. You must have caught that cold when you took off that bra to go to the beach. He,he,he.
ReplyDeleteSummer colds or colds at any time of the year is not one of my favorite thing. I hate to be sick.
Sending some healing vibes your way. Hugs. JB
I'll buy the beer cure. When you feel miserable you'll try anything.
ReplyDeleteHope you are on top of things soon.
poor you and your poor sister! the pat down. I hope you can get some sleep and drink that hot toddy

I hope you get over this soon. Now I've heard of beer as a way to flush out kidney stones, but hey it could work with a cold too...Oh, you should have spit in that guys eye for mocking you. Jerk.
ReplyDeletePoor Kim, Nothing worse then hot summer days and sick.Cheri
ReplyDeleteI'm sure that beer did some good! ~grin~ I hope you start to feel better really soon.

I hope your week is less hectic. Even though I know you enjoyed your family visit, all the excitement can really wear you out. Try to get some rest and drink plenty of ...um...liquids! LOL!
ReplyDeleteoh dear. rest that mush head of yours!
ReplyDeleteI would have to have a glass of wine for a cold I believe! I think you would feel better after a couple of glasses.
ReplyDeleteHi Kim, so glad you are feeling better. Summer colds are the worst!!!

Kim: I sure hope you get your juju back soon. My toddy recommendation is a good fruit tea (lemon preferably), lots of honey and a good dose of Cointreau. YUM. Aside from that, there's the one a friend used to say to me: take two aspirin and lie down for two weeks. LOL If only!!! Feel better!
