not only have I gone through a huge box of tissue's but I can't even taste what I'm eating Cry

Of course that didn't keep me from eating two pieces of pizza last night and one today Angry

Am I right when they say feed a cold?

Not getting any better yet? Ick. Sorry to hear that. Drink lots and lots of fluids, flood your body with water, wash that nasty stuff out right out.

That's what I tell the kids to do. Not sure if it helps get them better quicker but it keeps them hydrated. Tongue

Starve a cold, feed a fever?? I don't know.

Why is it when we have no sense of taste we still get hungry? SO not fair!

I hope you feel better soon. Keep taking it easy and let your body recover. Don't forget to make yourself a hot toddy or two!

You would think I'd be smart enough to eat something really super healthy that I don't like (since I can't taste it anyways). Of course it may have a little to due with AF. She's always got the best timing Confused

Pam, does it make you feel any better that I woke up a gajillion x's last night because my nose kept running? I'm right there with you! It got to the point where I just stuffed a Kleenex up one side so I could get a few winks! (TMI, sorry.) I also had pizza (soccer night for my son tonight) too!...but I could taste it. I feel for you. Misery loves company, right!? (Passes tissue box) Dead

Akkkkk your not supposed to get sick, just my husband (yes he finally is sick as well). Glad to hear you at least got to enjoy your pizza! I'd share some tissue with you but I'm on my last box. Hope your cold doesn't last long!!

I feel badly that you're both sick but...STAY AWAY FROM ME! Big grin

I don't want what ever it is you have!!! I've had my share of sickness this year so far, I'm not up for another round.

Find a way to make it happen, stay in bed the entire day, don't get out of bed except when nature calls. Wouldn't that be nice?! I know how with having kids, there are better odds at having someone knock on your door and hand you a million dollars than there is at getting to spend an entire day in bed. Roll eyes

I'm definetly on the road to recovery. How do I know this? Well I usually am by the time I pass it on to dh. Poor guy is working at home and won't be running with me due to being sick (oh poor boy.... NOT). Anyway I no longer am coughing and everything is from the neck up so hopefully my run goes well. If not guess I may not be racing on Sunday.

Oh and your totally right about the odds being in favor of someone coming to my door and giving me a million dollars over being able to stay in bed all day! Thanks for the laugh Michelle!
