Lurgy update

[selenay]

Still lurgified. Drinking lots of peppermint tea (for the headache), ginger ale (to settle the stomach) and milk (for the protein and calories). Might venture into toast territory tonight.

Oddly enough, I stayed at home today.

Work has only called me twice and my quick check of emails five minutes ago hints that everything they asked for worked. So that's a yay.

Sadly, my father is also home today (working from home) because his back has flared up. That means he's working in the lounge where the TV and Sky box are located, so no cuddling up on the sofa with crappy TV for me :-( I've been reading instead, which is actually not helping my head to feel better. Hence this quick computer break and then possibly lying down on my bed to watch a DVD instead.

I hate lurgies.

Hope it goes away soon, hun.

Thanks, hon. I'm feeling a bit better in myself today, but my voice has decided to take a vacation even though the sore throat seems to be improving. Grr. But I have eaten toast today so I anticipate being back to work tomorrow, which would be good.

Voice is gone? Oh crap. I hope that doesn't get worse. ::crosses fingers:: But toast! That's good news, sweetie. Nausea is so horrible. I can handle severe headaches better than nausea.

*sniggers at icon* :)

Voice is back now :-)) And today I branched out into the exciting world of omlette. And went back to work - it's my annual review tomorrow (a pointless piece of bureaucracy when I leave in three months, but hey) and I wanted to get my prep done for it so back I went. I actually tend to handle nausea better than severe headaches because at least I can ignore it and think through it. Bad headaches don't let me. Of course, my bad headaches are often accompanied by nausea...

The icon is pretty cute :-)

Review. Just what you'd love to have after all this. *sighs* And yeah, nausea accompanies my headaches too but I get it so bad that I think I'd rather just have the headache. I lay down in the dark, be still, let my mind float, and it subsides after a while. Nausea takes away any ability for me to let my mind float. I can only concentrate on the nausea. Blech.

:) Yep. :)

I haven't forgotten about sending you the information about the mailing list, but they're on the verge of moving to a new mailserver and haven't sent out the new information yet. The moment I have the information, I'll pass it on.

[selenay]

Thank you, sweetie. Tea and chicken soup are the cure for everything.

Getting the right information about the new mailserver would be much appreciated, so thank you for that :-)

[evil_plotbunny]

I thought you'd prefer that. ;) Of course, the message came through just as I'd caught up on the stuff I'd missed while in England, and just as I was about to look up the information for you.

[selenay]

That is the natural order of these things :-)

[evil_plotbunny]

I've sent the information now, so if it hasn't got to you. let me know.

Hope you feel better soon

[selenay]

Thanks, hon :-) Feeling a bit better today, except for my voice, so I should be back to normal in no time.

[nic]

***hugs***

I hope you feel better soon!

[selenay]

Thanks, sweetie! I expect to be back to normal very soon. I've already eaten two pieces of toast today with no ill effects except that my voice has now taken a vacation. Still, one doesn't need a voice to work, does it? So I shall be back at work tomorrow :-)
