I don’t feel well.
I don’t actually feel bad enough to go to the doctor or stay home from work. It’s more like the distinct feeling that I will be sick SOON. Probably around the time I’m boarding a plane to leave the country, making me completely incapable of hitting on British men and Shakespearean actors. Woe to me. woe. woe.
Being almost sick slows me down at work. Everything takes a long time. I’ve spent serious time the last few days sitting at my desk, thinking, Now what was I planning to do? OR looking at my list of things to do and thinking, All these projects sound hard. I want to watch a movie. Periodicals were designed by the devil. I wonder if I have any candy in my desk. Is my throat sore? I think my throat might be sore.
We had a patron in the library the other day with garlic cloves taped to his forehead to ward off illness. I might give that a try, if I don’t feel better soon.

Poor MBC!! Joel swears by Zicam. You should try it before taping the cloves of garlic to your head. Hot British men might not enjoy being hit on if you stink.
Load up on vitamin C. Seriously, everytime I feel like I am getting sick I suck on Vitamin C drops (make by Halls) and I don't get real sick. It boosts your immune system so it will fight off the cold faster. Just do it! :)
p.s. I am a Health teacher so I know everything. (even if I can't remember everything!) :)
Also please go home and get like 10 hours of sleep a night until you feel 100% better. I didn't and THAT'S why my cold lasted 2 weeks. Don't let that happen to you because I need your England trip to be fabulous! People are going to be living vicariously through you--you owe it to them (read: me) to have the best time possible!
Also if you should happen to bring me back some Thornton's chocolate I would probably repay you in golden eggs.
Yeah, Zicam works great if you start it before your symptoms come on. Some of the moms at my kids' school swear by Airborne, too, but if you've already caught something go for the Zicam.
Feel better! I got one of my worst colds that time I went to St. Petersburg with my dad, and it made it kind of miserable. Colds+airplanes=misery. So feel better!
Poor baby. What you really need is a brownie. Mom
Thank you for all your suggestions. I will try them all. Something ought to work.
Nemesis--Thornton's. Done.
