Things that make Mandi ignore her cough more easily

Ugh. The cough has moved up. Now I'm getting the congestion, post-nasal drip and look like Rudolph. I keep telling myself that it's progressing, that this means I am going to get over it, but damn, when it was down in my chest and not generating so much phlegm I didn't cough this much.

Fortunately, I have an array of distractions:


  • My big black fuzzy bear slippers

  • Lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of tea

  • Longer-than-should-be-allowed-but-it's-okay-because-I'm-sick-dammit hot showers

  • My new DVD recorder

  • The tape of "Cat and the Canary" that just came in the mail yesterday (I didn't check the box til today). Thank you, Perri! *virtually hugs [livejournal.com profile] neonhummingbird*

  • [livejournal.com profile] violetbloom and [livejournal.com profile] cleolinda and [livejournal.com profile] jonathlee for making me smile.



And speaking of hot showers, I think I have just enough time to use up an exorbitant amount of hot water before the Oscars start... later, all..

(P.S. Barring a freaking miracle, I'm calling in sick tomorrow. I go in like this, I'm sure my team lead will take one look at me and order me to get my ass home and in bed.)

Yay for sick leave. DO rest. I'm taking it easy, you should too. :>

You're welcome! I'd be sorry it took so long, but my timing seems to be on for once. < hugs > Feel better!!!

I LOVE your icon. I'm going to start saying that! It's SO true!

Ain't it just? I'm delighted by the number of people who have spoken up to share this particular kink. ;)

Hee. Which post made you smile? "They fight crime!" "Dorian Depp," or both?

Really, I do my best. ;) *hug* Feel better!

I want in on the funny! Add me? Please?

Hee, sure. :) You're friends with Mandi, ergo you are teh_cool as well. *bounces*

And the funny in question is from two different posts -- you can't miss them. ^_^

No problem. Glad I could provide some funny in the midst of all that phlegm.

Hot showers have been a saving grace for me! :)
