I'm sick. :-(

Looks like my Christmas this year isn't destined to be a merry one - I've come down with a really bad cold and sore throat. I also feel week and hot one minute, cold the next. Lost my appitite and water (which I usually love) tastes foul but no matter how much I drink I'm constantly thirsty.

Bah this sucks. I was ill the Christmas before last and had a horrible times, looks like it'll be the same again.

Tell me why do I get EVERY cold/virus that goes around? Grr I feel completely awful.

Have you had your flue shot? That might be why you get sick every year. Maybe nit dressing right when you go out into the cold. But I hope you get better before X-MEs.

I got a flue too. Nothing new, I usually catch it during the holidays.

That's actually a pretty common misconception about getting sick... you don't get sick because you get cold. Infact, that has nothing to do with getting sick, other than slightly lowering the immune system.

.

I've had a small head cold for a while now. Nothing too bad, so I'm not worried about it.

Hmmm, last Christmas I couldn't talk to anyone because if I did, people would laugh at me. I lost my voice, so I could only talk in whispers, cause in normal voice, I would start out talking normal, then my voice would go really deep, and then suddenly high and squeaky. I actually had fun though, and I wouldn't mind it happening again.

*mutters* Man, am I glad I got my shot when I did...

Oh, I hope you're feeling better soon. I got sick last Christmas, really bad. I don't like to even think about it. Yuck. That's usually the times I get sick, too. My reason though, I think, is because I'm off of work more during the holidays and it all catches up to me then. The rest of the time I'm too busy. I'm crossing my fingers for this year since I've already been sick.

Again, hope you feel better!
