I've been coughing up a storm. People cubicles away IM me to see if I'm okay. How embarrassing.
Jennifer brought me some Mucinex because my chest is all congested. I was really excited to use it. Their commercial amuses me, the one with the kid mucus and the dad mucus. Supposed to be kind of like liquid plumber for the lungs?
My voice is surprisingly okay one minute then sounds like the Exorcist girl the next. I woke up the other night and had a picture of a Little Mermaid scene stuck in my mind. The one where Ursula captures Ariel's voice into a seashell, then Ariel grasps at her throat. Goodbye voice.
An Account Manager suggested that I have a cup of "hot totty": warm brandy and a lemon wedge. Not sure if that's like a home remedy or an addiction. Anyway, I can go for that.
Oh... and I almost got blown over this morning by the strong winds. The back entrance into our building created a wind-tunnel... it was scary. I saw the area as I approached, the crazy trees dancing and stuff clanking around. I was hesitant but had to cross it. Some guy was watching me wide-eyed as I was being pushed and pulled by the wind, my hair flying everywhere. I thought I was going to tumble over, but I didn't. Phew!

Aww! I'm sorry you're not feeling well. Nagging coughs can be so draining. Keep some Ricola with you, and if you run into the Ricola Mystery Cougher, offer him/her one so you can win $1 million dollars!
Happy New Year, Judy - let's get together again soon. 
yay! you survived!
how's mucinex working out? i am all congested too..i thought i had won my battle with my cold...but it came back =( now i'm all conguested again
Get better, Judy! Hmm...a "hot toddy", I've never had that...it sounds delicious. I told Amy that she should not drink any Nyquil, just take a shot of tequila and go to bed. haha
exorcist girl? ew.
poor thing. hot lemon tea with honey works for me. when i need to talk or sing, one tablespoon of straight honey works wonders.
hope you get well soon.
Hope you're better. We watched the Little Mermaid tonight and it reminded me of Ursula telling Ariel, "Don't underestimate the importance of body language!!"
PS the facial expressions of everyone in the movie but especially Ariel were amazingly rich as I watched it for the first time in 10+ years. Still my favorite Disney animation movie.
so did the mucinex work?? yah, those commericals for it are funny. and thats very nice of your coworkers to IM you to see how your doing haha
aww, is that why i missed seeing you today? .. feel better
I think I have the same illness... oy! -_- But I'm feeling better now. At least I'm not coughing and blowing my nose as much anymore~
