Well, rats.

So it turns out those posts about being overwhelmed and not wanting to get out of bed finally caught up to me. I have swollen glands and my throat appears to be caving in on itself. Rats.

I'll be following a very strict three-step program for the next 24 hours.

1. Scalding brothy soup
2. Steaming green tea with lemon
3. Sleep and more sleep
(repeat Steps 1-3 if necessary)

Alaina, So sorry to hear. I am on the same boat. :( I had a stupid fever/virus over the weekend, and bam...Monday I woke up with what felt like basketballs just hanging out in my throat/neck...very cute. I rushed to my ENT, and am on a full course of antibiotics...fun times. I hope yours doesn't develop like mine...maybe something is going around....blech...Sending you some virtual soup.

Just catching up in the blogosphere ~ hope you feel better soon! Since I always (try to) find the silver lining, at least the weather is turning just enough to make curling up in bed sound more enticing than not :)

Jen said...
