I always feel bad when I don’t post for a day. It seems like years since I’ve last posted. I think that’s because my previous two posts were lazy bone posts. Oh yeah, so is this one. But I’m still sick! I’ve been going to bed early every night (except Wednesday when I went to a lovely dinner at Erin and Rich’s). I’ve been taking Zyrtec-D before I go to bed at night and I wake up AMAZING (almost to the point of singing “I’m walking on sunshine! Woo woo woo!”) and then through the morning I deteriorate into the rambling mess you see before you. Since I hate putting in my contacts when I’m sick, I’m currently wearing my glasses and an argyle sweater vest for that extra poindexter look. And where is all this snot coming from? Seriously, my nose should be replaced by a faucet so I can just turn it on and drain out my head. How can I make that happen? Get Michael Jackson’s plastic surgeon on the line! Wait, who am I yelling yet? My secretary? Josh? Oh well, I’ve clearly gone mad. MAD! I just want to sleep forever and ever this weekend to make myself feel better. And by “sleep forever and ever” I mean sleep in till 10AM and then spend the rest of the day in my pajamas watching Avatar: The Last Airbender. Awesome show! I’m almost done with the first season and I’ll be reviewing it in the next few days. But we’re also planning on going out east on Sunday for my parents’ anniversary, so I really want to feel better in time for that. Alright, that’s all.
Sorry you feel so crappy still. Maybe you should just keep tossing back Zyrtec every 4 hours. Just don’t try driving after.
Happy Anniversary Mr. and Mrs. M.
Actually Craig, you don’t have a blog. It’s all one giant cold medicine induced hallucination. Is anything that involves dancing monkeys every real?
You simply must get thru the series faster… it just gets better and more mature. But not mature as in “Look at me, I have to fill out W-4s now” but more like “Look at me, I can stay up and watch late night tv now.” sorta way.
ya-ya!
Sorry you’re feeling so crappy. I know what you mean about the copious amount of snot – it’s incredible, isn’t it?
Happy Anniversary to your parents! How many years is it?
I know all to much about snot and just how much can come out of a nose. I’ll spare you the details, but suffice to say that I have the opposite problem, it doesn’t run, it just hangs out in there and is very reluctant to come out, which is not a good thing.
I’m with GoKitty, will you hurry up and watch the rest of the series already!?!? Season 2 is my favorite and I can’t wait to find out how you feel about the additions to the cast.
Toff!
GoKitty: Totally!
Are you drinking so much water that your pee is colorless and you have to urinate at least once an hour? If no, then you are not drinking enough water. You need to flush your system to help clear out the infection. All the Zyrtec in the world won’t do what good old fluids will. And gin doesn’t count (Quiet VUBOQ). Sleep is excellent, so that is very smart on your part. Also, Vitamin C, twice a day in 500mg doses.
My snot flow is starting to let up, so I know of what I speak.
Awww… poor Craiggers. This is just natures way of telling you to stay in bed all weekend and watch Buffy, Avatar: TLA (I still need to watch the third season myself) and get started on Dr. Who already! Hope you feel better soon.
Happy Anniversary to your parents! Gee, that reminds me of something… oh yeah, my tenth anniversary is next week. Huh. Guess I should do something about that.
GoKitty: Toff ROCKS! (pun intended)
Neti Pot! It’s the single greatest invention known to man.
I feel worse. My weeks are SOOO packed that I only have time to update on the weekends. I don’t wanna do fluff updates, so I wait til I have time.
And this doesn’t count as an entry btw, so that makes it 3 days.
They had their 38th anniversary last week. This is just when we’re all available to celebrate.
I am drinking ridiculous amounts of water.
Can’t sleep, dancing monkeys will eat me. Can’t sleep, dancing monkeys will eat me. Can’t sleep, dancing monkeys will eat me. Can’t sleep, dancing monkeys will eat me. Can’t sleep, dancing monkeys will eat me. Can’t sleep, dancing monkeys will eat me. Can’t sleep, dancing monkeys will eat me. Can’t sleep, dancing monkeys will eat me.
I’m not sick but I’ve grown to be completely tired ALL THE TIME. My bed has become my not-so-secret lover. We cuddle all the time…little kisses have begun to progress. Pretty soon we’ll be swapping salivary secretionZ!
Weeeeeee!
And I like it way Craiggerz shoutz @ me! Disrespect! Huzzah!
Craig: “dancing monkeys will eat me”
You wish.
Lol @ M.Nico for Toph Rocks!
JP is right about the neti pot. Irrigating your sinuses with saline can be very helpful and refreshing.
I know of some Dancing Monkeys that would like to eat you, Craiggers, but that’s for another post.
I’ve been snotting now for a week. It’s only a stuffed head, and for a few days, an itchy throat. I’m blaming it on all the dust I’m stirring up from the cleaning/packing/moving I’ve been doing, but it could be a cold, who knows?
And this damn blocker at work wouldn’t let me on until now. I tried to comment when there were NO comments yet, and it wouldn’t let me cause of “adult” content! WTF???
Anyways, feel better soon, Craiggers.
HUGS…
My sister has a Neti Pot and even though it workz, I can’t help making fun of her when she usez it. The best is when she’s siphoning that shiz into her nasal passagez and I try and make her laugh…always a hilarious mess (just like me!).
Josh, that is cruel! But hilarious!
I wouldn’t want to clean that up though….
Feel better Craig. We understand if you can’t blog as often when you are il. I guess I got off lucky. My cold seems totally minor compared to yours.
You always look cute in glasses.
Try scotch. If there is one thing I’ve learned from British TV, it’s that a tot of scotch always helps.
Somebody pass the screen sanitizer. All of the snot in here is scaring me.
Just look forward to that last nose blow. You know the one. The one that feels (and looks) like your brain has passed through your nose. And then suddenly it’s all clear. You can finally breath and smell again.
I’m with David on the water. Makes a huge difference. Vitamin C, on the other hand, eats a hole in my stomach if I take too much. And never underestimate the power of a little whisky and honey (with or without a splash of lemon juice) to help with the scratchy throat. I keep a bottle of single malt scotch on hand for just that eventuality. Strictly medicinal, of course.
Wow – what a bunch of sickos. I hope I don’t get it from commenting.
I hope your snot is clear and not green. Ugh. Hope you’ll be feeling better soon (all of you ).
It’s allergy season again. People think allergy season is just spring, but oh no.
Fall allergies include molds, and ragweed pollen which right now is heavy duty in the northeast. If I don’t dose on 10mg of loratidine (aka Claritin) a day I’m a mess.
Clear snot is indicative of allergy, where as green to yellow indicates infection.
Sorry to hear you are still not feeling ok again, Craig. What I do when I start a cold coming on is take one Zyrtec a day (Benadryl would be better, but that turns me into a Zombie) and Tylenol every 4 hours until I don’t feel sick anymore. That usually cuts colds and feeling miserable down to 1 or 2 days. I read somewhere that lots of snot comes from eating dairy products, so maybe cutting down helps with that as well. Get well soon everybody.
get well
