Since I don't get sick much, it tends to have three effects:
1. Makes me realize how much energy I have when I'm not sick.
2. Reminds me there's only so much soup I can really be expected to handle.
2. Turns me into an even whiter person, if that's possible.
My English genes lean toward pasty over ruddy, so "rosy-cheeked" has never leapt to mind—but being forced to stay inside all day without much appetite takes pale to a whole new level. I look like a leaky Albino.
But The HMO Man prescribed some good drugs, so it should all be over soon. Then maybe I'll have enough energy to get riled up about the fact that I was at Kaiser Permanente for two hours and spent about six minutes with a doctor.
Naptime first. Then another lovely bowl of soup.

sorry you're sick! I recommend emergen-c.
thanks! i tried emergen-c for the first couple of days...my usual technique of two packets every few hours to fend off the demons. but it didn't work this time. had to go for the hard-core prescription stuff.
I'm sick too! I have a poltergeist in my nose, someone call the exorcist!
If you think some vile mint cough syrup might kill your poltergeist, I have about 9/10 of a bottle left. It's all yours.
