flu and tick season....

[lagilman]

is there anyone out there who is NOT either sick, coming down with something, or recovering from something?

My WFC-bug has finally (almost entirely) gone away, but I managed to strain a muscle in my neck from the coughing. Unfun of the extreme. Thanks to alfreda89's long-distance wisdom, I am able to coax it into recovery, but it still ^$@)*!# hurts.

It's doing crap things to my productivity, too. *sulk*

However, the local market had garlic-herb goat cheese and fresh cider for the mulling, and the felines are purring as they cuddle, so all is not dismal...

*raises hand* I haven't been sick in ages, actually....

Holding my breath that I don't come down with the con crud at Orycon this weekend. Only flirted with the edges of a cold a couple of weeks ago. But then I've been pretty isolated and not exposed too much in the last month to 6 weeks.

Yeah, I was doing fine until WFC. That'll teach me. No more conventions until Spring.

But then if I get the con crud I don't have to do Turkey Day with my m-i-l and brother. We are going to a restaraunt. I'm not cooking for 4. At this point I'll be happy with Swanson.

I had a mild brush with your throat crud (no doubt due to the innoculation via pointy chin) but somehow my usually wonky immune system fought it off. I'm not as prone to respiratory things as I am to gut maladies. Lucky me. My remedy for physical ills of all sorts is Chinese or Thai wonton soup, without MSG. Whenever I get sick, I crave Asian food, for some reason. Hope you feel better soon. Do you have a flax bag to put on your pulled neck muscles? And do you have arnica cream to rub in? That works very well on strains.

Healing vibes to you, my friend!

A bag of frozen corn for the icing, a small purr-cat for the warming. No arnica -- I looked, but the usual outposts didn't have anything that seemed usable. I do however have a headache balm cream that can't hurt, and will be applied tonight. The cats will be annoyed, but sucks to be them.

I refuse to answer your question on grounds that I might jinx myself -- especially since I'm scheduled to get a flu shot on Saturday...

I know the feeling - I think I pulled something in my side/groin from a particularly big sneeze.
