being sick

Thursday night I could totally feel myself coming down with something. I tried to ignore it- drank 5 different kinds of teas- totally went to LATIN HEAT &&& yoga (the latter of which made me feel a lot worse) but when I woke up Friday morning I could tell I was failing at facing down some form of this:

It looks awesome under a microscope, but it makes me feel like this:

... when it's taken over my body. Oh, being sick, how I hate you! I don't know what I've come down with but I have a sore throat that only seems to be getting worse (tomorrow will be day 4), ears that are itching like crazy and hurting and popping, too, and every once in awhile I'll start wheezing only to hack a chunk of something up halfway but lose it when I instinctually swallow again. What the hell is up with blogger spell check? I know I spelled instinctually right- I just checked- but it is still redlining it. Ugh! And OF COURSE it had to be the weekend before Christmas- the biggest weekend at my store (last year I was sick during inventory, which still sucked but only lasted 1.5 days)- the weekend I am supposed to be moving into my new house (I'll tell you all abt it soon!), my new roommates are having a Christmas party, Jwoww is in town, and another group of pals had a birthday party/reunion- I'm missing craft day, too. Cry cry! I need to work on some Christmas gifts and do some more shopping too, not to mention all the $$$ I am losing by not being at work. A lil miracle over here, plz? Or at least some antibiotics... if that's what the doctor orders.

Yes, tomorrow I go to the doctor. Thank goodness. I'm in bed with pho and popsicles and tea and the entire Curb Your Enthusiasm 7th season- I really hope Larry and Cheryl get back togeths, even though Larry is a dick. I need to drink more water. Day & Nyquil have put me into a cold medicine haze... things look funny... am I floating? Yesterday for breakfast I had soft boiled duck egg with toasted french bread- who knew it would be so soothing? The idea of egg kinda made me feel vommy but I read story after story of people's moms making them soft boiled eggs when they were little and sick, so I tried it. With the duck eggs I just happen to have. It was a treat. 

What are your favorite sick day foods? My popsicles are strawberry & my tea is lemon ginger. Chicken pho only, no beef or pork please!
