It’s the time of year
For coughs and colds
I’m sneezing and dripping
while feeling quite old.
I cough and I hack
Using boxes of Puffs
My baskets are filled
With tissues and ‘stuff’
I’m hanging around
In sweats
And a sweater
Sipping canned chicken soup
Which makes me feel better
I’m really quite sure
Its not P-nue or flu
I always have shots
Whenever they’re due.
I just called the Doc
Who hasn’t a minute
He’s booked till next year
Per his annual limit.
I just need a script
For a z-pack or ‘cillin.
Whatever will help
Believe me, I’m willin.
Keeping the sani-wipes
Right next to the Mac
Washing my fingers
With every new hack.
I’ve cleaned all the keys,
The mouse and the pad.
I can’t go mahjong and that makes me sad.

I Hope YOU are all well. Remember to
Wash your hands a thousand times
And don’t eat free stuff at the supermarket.
Someone my have sneezed on it.

Cheer me up. Write something nice. :)
Do you have a humidifier?
If you have trouble breathing, run the shower without the fan or boil a big pot of water and carefully breathe some of it.
You won't need an antibiotic if it's a regular cold. Antibiotics don't do anything for viruses, only bacteria, and colds are viral. It just goes until it stops and you do what you have to to feel better.
You aren't likely to catch a cold from eating something. You're likely to catch it from touching a surface with the virus on it, then rubbing your eyes. That's why you wash your hands.
I feel for you. I despise colds. Stuff that interferes with breathing and sleeping are the worst.
I am sure I will survive.
I wrote something nice and hope it cheers you a little.
Get well soon, A!
Marty's Husband...Whiskey and Honey sounds like a plan. Not sure I've heard of that before.
Little Kate...Thanks. Your smile is sunshine.
Thank you, A. I hope you sleep well and get well soon.
