Bleurgh :(
Feb. 23rd, 2003 02:13 pmMy plans to tidy my house this weekend have fallen foul of the nastiest bug I've had in a while. I know blokes are often accused of over-using the word 'flu', but I think when I've got a headache, aching muscles, stabbing pains, nauseau, a cough and a blocked up nose, I'm probably allowed. Oh, and I keep whiting-out when I stand up - which is mildly entertaining the first few times, but gets a bit old after that.
Bleurgh.
Fortunately
gothslut is here to point and laugh offer love and sympathy, so at least I get to play the invalid to an appreciative audience. She's nicking all my chocolate while I'm too ill to eat it myself though... ain't love grand.
Glad I bought the Red Dwarf series 2 DVD on Friday, I'm going to sit in bed and watch that until I feel better (probably just in time to go back to work tomorrow, knowing my luck!). I do hope I'm better for tomorrow anyway, it's the Skelliga gig which I've been looking forward to...

Date: 2003-02-23 07:47 am (UTC)French onion soup (canned is fine) with extra onion, LOTS of garlic, pepper and other hot spices - cayenne and paprika are good. Eat as much of this as you can.
Lemsip Max Strength, to be drunk just before you go to bed. Add a generous dash of a dark spirit such as brandy or whisky. Also add extra lemon and honey to taste. This will knock you out guaranteed! It also makes you feel a lot better than you would the next morning. Get plenty of rest and drink LOTS of water. If you catch it early enough you should wake up the next day with a cold, but no more flu.
*Hugs* come along, I'll buy you a pint (as long as you don't breathe on me!) ;-)
Sounds much like what I have... :/
