Sicky-sick

[breakinglight11]

This week Phoebe has a case of the sicky-sicks, which means I have enough of a sore throat and sinus congestion to be very uncomfortable but not so bad that I'm not able to function more or less as normal. I have a pretty tough immune system, but still this seems to crop up about once a year. Guess it's that time again. So, despite my desire to do nothing but roll around in bed muttering, "I'm sick, I'm sick," to myself, as I inexplicably always want to do, I must simply go about my life with slightly more nose-blowing and pain when speaking. Heh, saying hello to my coworker was the first speaking I did all morning, and I was surprised at how creepy my voice sounded. Trying to dose with hot tea, though it kind of hurts to swallow. I'm a little concerned about talking at rehearsals, not to mention the fact that kissing is supposed to start this week. Great, not only do I have to get over my little hangups about kissing a girl, I have to worry about whether I'm going to infect her with plague when I do it. :-P

I have said plague as well. The best cure I've found? It's going to sound gross, but it is, in fact, delicious. Hot lemonade with honey.

You pretty much just squeeze a lemon (a real lemon, mind; don't use store-bought lemon juice!) or two into a mug, add water, heat in the microwave, and then add honey to taste. Muuuuch more effective at temporarily curing the plague than tea.

Hope you feel better soon. Dan is tres grateful to have a place to stay.
