I'm not getting sick!

[auntiemeesh]

I'm not, dammit! The headache, sore throat, stuffed up nose and cough mean nothing. Nothing, I tell you. I. Am. Not. Getting. Sick.

I called off sick today. sorry if it was me. I only pointed at the comics that I thought were good. there was no touchy.

[auntiemeesh.livejournal.com]

Lol! I think it's more likely the responsibility of the sick child who kept sticking his fingers in my mouth on Tuesday. Are you feeling any better today?

[rabbitchild.livejournal.com]

har! sick kids have no problem with sharing! :) I am feeling better. but i'm not out of the woods yet. I thought I was getting better on Wed and then it hit me again on Thurs. I suggest continuing to take cold medicine until it's completely gone. I hope you get better soon!

[auntiemeesh.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I should probably buy some cold medicine. That way if I take a nose dive over the weekend, I don't need to take my sick self out just to buy decongestant.

No no no! I won't let you!

*wraps you in healthy hobbity hugs*

Thanks. The symptoms are somewhat diminished this morning so I'm feeling hopeful. Healthy hobbity hugs are a truly wondrous thing. :)

The person who sits behind me at work came back from an illness today just long enough to cough on all of us and then became too ill to stay and left. I am quite sure that I will have something by the end of next week. I hope you aren't getting sick. I shall think good thoughts for you and hope it is only a slight allergy of some sort that will be gone with the morning.

And now Bush is trying to reduce even further the amount of sick time that people can take. Because it's good to make everyone around you as sick as you are. That way we can all exist in plague-ridden solidarity!

I'm feeling cautiously optimistic about my cold, as the symptoms are much reduced, although not altogether gone, this morning.

[grey-wonderer.livejournal.com]

I am glad to hear that the symptoms are receeding. Hope you are all better soon. As to Bush and the sick days, I think he is trying to ruin everything that he can for all of us.

When I first got my current job, I was thrilled with the amount of paid days off that I would be getting. Trouble is that those days are vacation time so if you get sick, there goes your vacation. You don't have seperate days for each. Also, if you are ill and you call in, you are supposed to make that day that you missed because it was unscheduled! Now, who do you know that wakes up in the morning and says, "I better schedule next Tuesday off because I am going to be sick that day." LOL So we wind up making up time at a point when you feel the least like it. Here you are recovering from the flu or something and working a double shift to make up for an unscheduled absence! Have I mentioned that I hate my job?

I still can't figure out how Bush got re-elected. Come to think of it, I can't figure out anything about him, period. Never in all my life have I been so ecstatically happy not to live in the States.

Hope your cold is gone by now.

Keep on saying that. It never works for me, but it might for you.

It's all a vast conspiracy by the OTC cold medicine companies. Remember in the old days, the ads would show you someone being sick in bed, and pampered by a lot of TLC from their family? Now they actually encourage you to mask your symptoms with their medicine, so that you will go to work and to school and spread your sickness to everyone else, who then have to buy their concoctions.

And of course, employers make it difficult to call in, which just makes it worse.

(((hugs))) and hobbits and some nice comfort food...there's the ticket.

I've had luck with determination before, but it is usually only a delaying tactic. You know, when you tell yourself you can't get sick until after x and then the day after x you fall desperately ill.

I hate those cold med commercials -- particularly the one with the sick dad who's forced to take medicine so he can go skiing with his obnoxious kids, and the one where the wife makes the husband take cold meds so he can go out and shovel the snow. When I'm sick I want to embrace my sickness, stay in bed, watch tv and veg out.

And I've heard that Bush is trying to pass legislation which will make it even harder for people to take time off when they are sick. I don't understand that mentality of, "well, you are hyper contagious and barely able to see straight. So come on in to work and share your misery with everyone around you."

Thanks for the hugs.

*hugs you back*

[budgielover.livejournal.com]

Not you too! Our people are dropping like flies. I hope your pure determination works, and you don't get sick!

[auntiemeesh.livejournal.com]

So far, I am the only person in my room at work who hasn't had this terrible, plague-like cold/flu thing. Pure determination has worked up til now. I'm gonna keep trying, because I really have far too many things to do to be sick.

Thanks for your good thoughts. :)

Take two hobbit hugs. Repeat as necessary.
If you're not better by the morning,
call off sick and don't feel guilty.

[auntiemeesh.livejournal.com]

I love your prescription. I will follow it faithfully. Luckily, I am feeling much better this morning, so I'm hoping last night was a freak aberation.

*hugs*

[b-briarwood.livejournal.com]

Glad you're feeling a bit better. I usually keep denying until it wipes me out, but I've learned lately if I embrace it earlier on and tend to myself then, chances are it won't get any worse.

*hugs*

I hope you won`t get sick.
