I was promoted at work (YAY! RAH RAH, right? No) My new boss makes the Soup Nazi seem downright cuddly. Absolutely a nightmare non people person with zero social skills. Aaaaaaaaaaaaand guess who is on her speed dial? We all know the 3 favorite words someone can tell you. My new LEAST favorite words are "I'm calling you" /rant (thankful to have a job. I know a lot of people are struggling right now. But lemme tell ya..this woman is something else) Off work for the rest of the day, though! Already did my time this morning :) And the phone is OFF for the rest of the freakin' day.
Down with flu. Achy, raw throat, queasy, might sweats, chills, cough- yuck. Getting tamiflu, hope it helps. And hope none of my friends here catch this damn thing. Did anyone hv good luck with tamiflu?
Thanks bacon, i will ask hubby to get me some. Funny thing, many years ago i gv hubby alka awltzer cold and it shrinks all the membranes. All of them, even below the waist! Oh there was shrinkage!! Hes yelling what the hells going on here and dont ever gv me this again, lololol.
LOL! To keep with the Seinfeld them, he was IN THE POOL! Feel better soon sweetie. It's going around and it sucks that there really is no tried and true cure.
I did my time last week. Fortunately it was just a bad cold and not the flu. I took Theraflu, Advil, EmergenC, orange juice, and slept all one afternoon. Everyone around me is either sniffing, hacking, or can barely talk because their throats hurt so bad.
Thera-Flu used to be decent for OTC meds. The hot lemon drink always made me feel better before the meds even had a chance to kick in. Mr. Min Pin is feeling cruddy and he said it feels like it is either flu or food poisoning.
Working on painting my living room after work. 2.5 walls left and I'm not a fan of this tripwire game I have to play with everything moved around, like CZJ in that Sean Connery movie.
@auntliddy, I did Tamiflu once and honestly, I wouldn't bother. It cuts your sick days by ONE DAY, two at the most. When I get nasty sick, I take Airborne and Emergen-C like it's nobody's business and I'm rarely sick for more than a day or two. A buttload of hydration, good rest, ibuprofen, and super hot baths followed by super cold socks are your ticket to ride. :D Hope you feel better!
@Bacon, uuuuugh, that does sound like a nightmare! I always wonder how people like that make it "up" in the world. :/
She sucks up to the main boss who apparently either had an overbearing mother or very bossy sisters. She's a 'lifesaver' when she talks to him. Just a beast to the rest of us.Then you call her on it and it's hurtfeelingsville. They kept telling me I was promoted because I was SO good at my job. I think it's just because I'm the only one who didn't hang up on her :)
No kidding! The cold front up north is a mess. Auntliddy I just remembered my SIL's favorite medicine, she uses Delsym. It will knock you the heck out but she says it's the best she's tried.
Just want to give a shout out to all and your kind words yesterday! Totally appreciated and I thank you all for helping me escape on a daily basis!
@Bacon - hang in there.
@AuntLiddy - aww feel better. I swear by alka seltzer cold/flu too!! It's the only that doesn't make me feel high as a kite. Well…unless you like that feeling. : )
My sister arrived today for a few days visit and brought our new rescue Iggy with her! I haven't seen her in a year and we have a ton of catching up to do. Our new Iggy is adorable and Mr. Min Pin named him Cosmo - 1/2 for Moonstruck and 1/2 for Cosmo Kramer.
Just reading the Oscar noms... I can breathe a huge sigh of relief that Jennifer Aniston did not get nominated. Can you imagine what the next 6 weeks would be like?? Is she pregnant? Is she getting married? and Lord, stick a hot needle in my eyeball - talking about being divorced from Brad Pitt. (deep breath... okay, I am good now)

ReplyDeleteDid anyone hv good luck with tamiflu?
You poor thing! I swear by Alka Seltzer cold. Stay warm and just get as much sleep as you can (along with orange juice) :(
DeleteLil Snarky and I had Swine Flu 5 years ago, Tamiflu helped A LOT. Get well soon!

Feel better soon Liddy.
DeleteThx for the laugh Liddy. Shrinkage.... Needed a good laugh.
DeleteOh and get well soon. Lots of sleep and liquids.

DeleteAw, aunt licky, I hope you recover quickly. The flu was brutal when I had it a few weeks ago!
ReplyDelete@Bacon, see? Ya should'a hung up on her! :)
I am so sick of the rain! It feels like it's been raining forever! I am grateful, though, that I don't live up North. Really, I am!

ReplyDeleteGlad today is better Jessi.
Congrats Bacon and kill that beyotch with kindness. It'll drive her cray cray.
