Dear Universe,
I think that given the circumstances, surely I should be exempt from further frailties, such as the common cold. I feel that I have already served more than enough time for the year with my rehab and that for the remainder of the year I should be allowed to exist in perfect health. If you think about it, my rehab will go along much better if I am not stopping every 60 seconds to blow my nose and don’t have to cancel physio appointments because my head is all wooly and I do not wish to pass it along. Besides, I can’t concentrate on exercises when I need to sit up to blow nose/sneeze/cough/all of the above at very regular intervals.
I do realise this is in reaction to the copious amounts of unnatural substances which have been pumped into my body (and getting too cold on the weekend) and I have been doing my best to limit future intake, and to remedy what damage has been done thus far. However, making my entire face and head ache as well as my knee does not serve as effective encouragement for me to abstain from intaking further drugs.
I ask that you please take my plight into consideration and relieve me of this additional and altogether unecessary health blip.
With appreciation in anticipation,
Amber

I’ll bring chicken soup on night this week! *hugs*
*hug* If it’s any consolation, he got me too…. :oS
I’ve developed the philosophy that there is no wrong weather, only the wrong clothing (and occasionally a fire and piles of doona’s and cushions)
But anyway – if you are cold tell me, and I’ll work on warming you up.
*hugs* and feel better soon
so not nice, ne.
*hugs*
Thank you.
*non contagious hugs* back
Yum. oh sounds so good.
Stil, unless you coming tonight, I shall be crossing my fingers that need for chicken soup will be over before, oh tomorrow night! Oh, and I won’t be home wed or thurs night.
I do agree on th ewrong clothing rather than wrong weather, for sure. Yesterday I worked hard on the right clothing. Right now, the right clothin varies regularly…I’m hot, I’m cold, I’m hot, I’m cold.
What’s your view on work and do you know how long colds are contagious for? I’m torn between I can work tomorrow because, well I’m me and I’m stubborn and it really is just a head cold, or mayeb I will be frowned upon for showing up and possibly spreading it. I know the answer in japan – wear a mask and go! What about here?
Urgh, the wedding lurgy got to you as well? Get well soon, then, and I feel your pain.
Awww, that’s ok. Go ahead, infect me. 🙂
Wait a minute. That sounded a little creepy. Wasn’t meant that way 🙂
I believe that the contagious periods for cold/flu is actually before you start to show symptoms. The symptoms you get are actually your body fighting the virus.
FWIW – Melb Uni actually provides flu shots (usually sometime in April) free to staff members.
As for whether you can work, you aren’t going to be frowned on for showing up. It really is up to you and whether you feel up to it.
I’ll send you the essence of hot tea and sleep via the universe, I hope it helps.
Seriously, I can think of way more fun things to be infected by ;-P
good, so I just contaged people last week – good thing I didn’t go out Friday night then!
Flu shot – excellent idea. I’m in. (3 years away and I had completely forgotten about flu shots)
Glad I won’t be frowned upon for showing up. Plus the sneezing and runny nose is lessening and soon will be attacked by much horseradish and garlic so I should be even vaguely presentable as well as workable by tomorrow 😉
wedding lurgy, huh. Well this bette exempt us both from the Con lurgy then!
I came down with a cold yesterday, too… ;_;
Get better soon!! *hug*
