Ugh. This is hell. I've been trying to sleep for hours. My nose, mouth, throat, and chest are slathered with Mentholatum. I'm lying with my upper half propped up, letting all this shit drain instead of trying to breathe through it. I still can't sleep.

I'm making a cup of tea right now... hopefully it'll soothe my throat enough that I can get to sleep! :P


This is a time I wish I had someone to take care of me. In fact, I cried for the first time in... I don't want to calculate it, because it's not longer than a week or so, but yeah. I had calmed down, but now this fucking plague. *whine*

Edit: [livejournal.com profile] azadam is to blame for infecting me with this deadly virus. Everyone beat him up.

My miracle cure:

Ok, here is my cure for a cold. Get really, really drunk. In all seriousness. Im not talking happily buzzed, but slurred speach, spinning world drunk. That has cured every single cold I have ever had in the shortest amount of time. Just don't foget to drink plenty of water before falling asleep/passing out. I know it sound really wierd but it has always worked for me. I get drunk on room temperature or slightly cold beer and eat "Yes, I'm sure I want it extra spicy" Vindaloo. The beer also helps stop the thermo nuclear explosion caused by the vindaloo in your mouth.

Well, that is my home remedy for taking care of a cold/flu. I swear to god it is what I do when I have a bad cold and need to heal fast (and get fed up with being spoonfed and mothered by Rachel) Hope that helps.

Funny you should mention that. My mexican co-worker keeps saying, 'You feel sick, take a shot of tequila before bed.'

that is so true.. a night out on hard drugs also does the trick (as long as it's accompanied by standing around in the freezing cold then dancing up a serious sweat) but i'm guessing that's probably out of the question for you atm.

Yeah, not really in my spectrum of availability... although I have gin, tequila, and amaretto atop the fridge!

Well, I think I'll be trying this out... so I'd better not die! Or it's on your head!

In place of vindaloo, maybe I should get some thai food...

The bacterium are my new master. They sent me on a voyage through as many cities as possible to spread their kin to many. Muhahahahah!

Silly. A cold is a virus, not a bacterial infection. The virii are your new masters!

Silly, you don't have a cold. You have bacteria. It's bacteria in you. Look at your sore throat with a flashlight. Them's bacteria in there!

Good Lord. They must have perfected their bacterial cloaking device. We're doomed, doomed!

Wait till they shoot! Then they decloak and the drink can attack!
