The Sickness

I will not bore you, disgust you or otherwise force you to skim, rather than read, this post by delving into the details of being sick the last few days. Instead, I thought I would enlighten the healthy folk with a few things I've discovered in case you too get the sickness.

Sick Tip:
#1) When others cover their mouth and nose in your presence or in general try to avoid any contact with you, that means you seem to be really sick. Go home.
#2) Don't buy the "Low Sodium Diet" Chicken Noodle Soup. I had no idea what I'd gotten myself into when I purchased this raunchy flavored water with chicken chunks.
#3) Cough Syrup still doesn't work. I've never felt like those syrupy renditions of "cherry" actually stopped a cough - they still don't.
#4) Ibuprofen, tylenol.. whatever works for you (or your doctor recommends) to break the fever - take it! The parts that really suck are the aches and chills that come with the high fever. Plus it's good for you not to be hanging out with a temp in the 100s.

That's it...Stay healthy!
