Peek Inside: My flu-fighting survival kit

Please note: I can make no guarantee as to the coherence of this post. My fever was topping out at 100.3 when I wrote it. Oh, and I was coughing like I’d personally endorsed Lucky Strike a la Mad Men…
Ack! The evil flu still has me tightly wrapped in its web, friends. The last few days haven’t been pretty. At all. But I have managed to come up with a list of things that have at least made me scream out in agony just a little bit less….
Vicks to get more through those long nights of coughing; Gatorade to make sure I’m keeping up with my fluid intake (the blue flavor is my favorite); Reruns of Glee, even if I can’t sing along to the musical numbers; chicken noodle soup because it’s the ultimate comfort food; and Kleenex for my ever-running nose!

So, friends, now it’s your turn: What makes you feel better when you’re sick? A family tradition passed down from generation to generation? A favorite book? A favorite movie? Hope you’re staying well this season! xoxo

On flu bugs and spring break

Well, friends, no sooner did I ring in spring break on Friday afternoon than I began to feel dull ache in the back of my throat. Flashforward to last night, and there was no denying it: I had the flu. The chills, coughing, runny nose kind. So needless to say, I’ll be resting and recharging my batteries today, drinking lots of juice and enjoying the wonders of Vick’s (isn’t that stuff just amazing?). Hope you all have a good day, and I’ll see you tomorrow! xoxo
