Gotta Cold. Gotta See The Doctor.

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.

I am so bored...and cant' think of a thing to write. Tired of politics...Way tired of it (kids speak)...even took down my last three posts. So here I am writing stupid poems. Seeing the 'Doc' tomorrow.
Cheer me up. Write something nice. :)
I hope you don't have a long wait tomorrow. I also hope you feel better.

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.
Thanks Kosh...had to get a chest x-ray since I wrote the post. Am sure I'll be fine. Just stinks. We have grandparents day at St. Johns next week. Need to be there. So important to our grandson. Steam is helping. Never knew about the eye thing. Will be careful.

I took my flu shot and was sick for three days. I think it was worse than the regular flu.
Scanner...have to wait until I am "better" to get this years variety of flu shot. Can't complain too much though.. I'm still here kvetching.
I, too, loathe that feeling.
Thanks Jon.
I am sure I will survive.
Vicks Vaporub. It makes you stink, but at least it will unstuff you enough to smell yourself.
Did flu and shingles vaccines last week. And, wash those little hands, all day every day and when all else fails -- whiskey and honey....
I loved your poem but hate that you are sick!

I wrote something nice and hope it cheers you a little.

Get well soon, A!
I had my cold already- miraculously better after 8 days, then all better at 2 weeks. Fingers crossed that you're good for the special weekend.
Librarienne... I'll try the Vicks. And I hope then I will smell good.:)
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.
Is there a Doctor in the OS House? "Sick of Politics" is going around - take 2 Lie Detector Tests & call me in the morning! Feel better Annie! R
Shame... (as we say here - code for "How sad!") Get well soon, dear one! J
