39 degrees this morning no walk, six earthquakes
Head cold actually improved yesterday and got better as the day went on, although it was still a problem this morning. Maybe my “home remedy” of Gatorade and Sudafed works!
Something really odd, I remember when I was in high school, this restaurant had a clock that read “Dr. Pepper, Hot or Cold”.
Whenever I got a cold, I wanted a “hot” Dr. Pepper, not thinking that the sign meant the temperature, hot or cold, not the Dr. Pepper itself hot or cold
I still wonder what a “hot” Dr. Pepper would taste like when I get a head cold. I never did get to have a “hot” Dr. Pepper.
I don’t know if I told anyone about my fantasy or not, but I never did get to try a “hot” Dr. Pepper! I think I vaguely remember asking for “hot” Dr. Pepper at the restaurant and getting laughed at, but I don’t really recall.
Another part of my “home remedy’” I didn’t try yesterday is hot tea.
Of course, due to my “GERD” I quit drinking carbonated beverages completely. The carbonation makes me cough violently after I switched to a lighter antacid (Tagament) over some stronger medicine that was creating some other problems with side effects, primarily my immune system.
I honestly have not missed carbonated beverages at all.
When you start to feel sick, you appreciate how well you feel most of the time and realize that a lot of small troubles are just that, small.
I do remember my parents saying “if you have your health, you have everything” (or words to that effect, maybe not “everything”).
I always think when I get sick, how I would feel if I knew I’d never feel good again. It is not a good feeling! The one thing that helps me get through these bouts is knowing i will eventually feel better.
“Office day” today. I had a lot of new information, so I prepared for my “field day” tomorrow. As usual, I probably am planning more than I can actually get done.
However, I thought I would rather have too much (it can always wait another dayI), than too little and have to come back early, although I ALWAYS have paperwork I can do! If nothing else I can spend time getting familiar with procedures etc.
Toastmasters last night was interesting. It made me think about how I “assume” someone knows something.
The question concerned the “holidays” and the “Table Topics” question (Table Topics is a part when members are asked questions they don’t get in advance and they are expected to talk 2-3 minutes on the subject. He was asked something about the “Easter Bunny” and his response was “what’s the Easter Bunny!
I really can’t assume that someone else knows what I mean!
Anyway, I am SO glad to be feeling better. I thought I was looking at a week of feeling bad. A warning to take care of myself!
That’s it for now, Tuesday, December 9 2014
