Earlier today I took to Twitter to share with the world why they should feel sorry for me.
But then I thought, WHO CARES? People get sick all of the time.
So instead of embarking on my usual method for getting better (calling mom and having her ask the doctor to call in antibiotics for me), I went about it the way normal folk do. And whadaya know, it seems to be working!
I’ve been consuming a ton of water, along with veg…
…cough drops, tea…
…and comfort food.

A relaxing candle seemed to help…
…and most importantly, ample relaxation on my nap throne.
My throat is still feeling a slight scratch, but I’m optimistic.
How do you snap out of an impending illness?
I know how you feel - I think I’m getting sick too! Hope you feel better soon. 😀
I did the exact same thing today! My throat is still a little bit scratchy too but I’m determined to be well enough to run in my second half marathon on Saturday.
I hope you feel completely better soon!
You ROCK that half, girl 😉
Echinacea drops, lots of water, garlic and ginger always cure me! Feel better love!
I’ve been feeling sick lately too, so I just took the most glorious nap I have in awhile!
My trick is TONS of tea - I use Traditional Medicinals Echinacea Plus tea and Cold Season tea from Yogi. Plus, tons of fruits and veg! Take the opportunity to eat tons of sweet potatoes, the Vitamin A and beta carotene will help you ward off germs:)

The positive mindset and telling myself that I feel great helps more than anything I can eat/drink/medicate with.
Is your blanket from Target? If so, I totally have it in the exact same color. When I start feeling sick I usually take an Emergen-C packet and go to bed early. It seems to help a bit, but I would love to find some sort of anti-sickness miracle plan.
hmm, I don’t remember if it is or not! I’m thinking it might be from JC Penny because that’s where my mom gets pretty much everything 😛
I’m a big fan of Green Monsters when I’m feeling Icky…good luck!

I loveeee making “sick beds”. They’re the most comforting relief for sickness aches. i’m also a fan of soup/popsicles when i have a scratchy throat. lifetime movies also don’t hurt 😉
I swear by zinc lozenges and echinacea! Also try eating something with celery and onion cooked together, like chicken soup. Finally, REST! Don’t exercise or leave the house for 3 days and you will feel so much better!
Aww hope you’re not getting sick!!!
I typically just sleep a ton and drink a lot of water - unless my tummy’s upset and in those cases, I drink a lot of Sprite
My throat has been at a slight scratch all week! I make sure I take my vitamins, eat cleanly and get some rest!
Being sick is horrible though cause everyone goes through it, but it sucks all the same!
Eat oranges and drink lots of water! Hope you feel better soon!
glad youre feeling better!
Lots of people are getting sick around this time
Glad you’re already feeling better
i’m with you on the who cares train 😉
i bet tomorrow you feel 100%!
glad youre feeling better!!!
i snap out of illness with the words, “Mommy, can you help me with….”
No time for mommies to be sick!
Haha nothing is better than parking your butt on the couch when you’re sick. 😉 I hope you’re methods are working to keep your cold away!
*your, not you’re. I can’t believe I did that! 😛
hahah it’s all good, you corrected it 😉
I sleep A LOT when I think I’m getting sick! Early bedtime for this girl!
I’ve been living my life with ‘something’…I think it might be a sinus infection. Tomorrow will be two weeks and I have a feeling it will be the day that I finally kick it!
Hopefully Off The Map sexyness made you feel better!
Mmmm I’ve seen those naan wraps — I wanna try the vegan/ veg ones!
Hope you’re feeling better! Meds, rest and water are always my go-tos!!
hope you feel better, but i actually enjoy being sick becu i can lie in bed all day.. its true.. it kind of rocks- apart from the well, feeling sicky part!
I always try to increase my rest and liquids (tea, water, oj) when I am feeling sick. I hot pack around the neck is always a nice addition.
Best.Candle.EVER….
Trashy TV works wonders, too, by the way. (0:
