The Flu

Well, now that I am home from vacationI am sick.

Again.

I climbed into bed on Sunday evening and I haven’t been able to get out of bed ever since. I have a fever of 102, a runny nose, a cough, and I am exhausted. I think I have The Flu.

Sigh.

    Aw, our poor baby. Well rest up (more) and drink plenty of fluids.

    Turn on the TV (which we know you love)

    And feel better….. XO

  2. Yuck!! You need the Jewish remedy – Chicken Noodle Soup!! Feel Better πŸ™‚

  3. Awwww, feel better – the flu sucks ass. Thank God you didn’t get sick in Mexico.

  4. Sorry to hear that. At least you didn’t get it while you are on vacation. That is the worst time to have a cold. Feel better soon.

  5. Meleah says:

    Oscar:
    I think all that traveling kicked my ass.

    Cathy WMDA:
    mmm….yes please.

    The Girl I Will Bring Home:
    I am glad I am HOME and in my OWN bed for this. I feel awful.

    Urban:
    Thanks. I am sleeping a lot and drinking a lot of water.

  6. SoLow says:

    It’s gotta be the flight. Seems like 3 out of every 5 times I fly these days I either get sick or I get a nosebleed. It sucks…

    GET BETTER!!!! πŸ™‚

  7. yo momma says:

    did u get the gatorade i left on your nightstand?

  8. moooooog35 says:

    Serves you right for rubbing that ‘vacation’ shit in our faces.

    Speaking of vacation shit, did you drink the water?

  9. Meleah says:

    SoLow:
    I know its from traveling. I have a compromised immune system, and every now and then my body reminds me how fragile I am.

    Mom:
    Yup.

    Mooog35:
    ha ha ha.
    No I did not drink the water.
    But I was accused by Angry Man of having YOU write THIS post of mine.

  10. Ricardo says:

    Feel better. I have noticed when I have taken a long vacation and fly that I come home and get sick. It sucks.

  11. Valerie says:

    102. you know when i my kid gets a fever, i treat her like a blanket/heating pad.

    feel better. that has to suck, especially if you have any body aches.

  12. Meleah says:

    Ricardo:
    Its definitely from traveling.

    Valerie:
    My normal temperature is 96.8 NOT 98.6. So, this is a high fever for me.

    And I am so very sore / stiff joints. Not cool. I took a really hot shower and tons of medication. But I still feel terrible.

  13. Sounds like the flu- it’s going around. My oldest stayed home from high school yesterday. But it was cool that he was sick after Thanksgiving and he is old enough to dump get his butt to the toilet without making a mess… I hate it when the under 5 crowd gets sick… blarg. I got the tree of them flu shots, now I have to convince the two older ones that they should get one two. Not that they are perfect- last years shots were only like 40% effect or something really lame.

  14. ha ha should have read “dump his flu/ vomit bucket”… I guess he’s old enough to take a dump too lol…

  15. Lady Banana says:

    Aww, sorry to hear you are unwell, that’s really unfair after having had such a great holiday..

    Wish you well soon as possible, take care πŸ™‚

  16. That sucks. Consider getting a flu shot next year, they do me a world of good.

  17. Lee says:

    At least it’s not Montezuma’s revenge. Hope you’re feeling better soon, kiddo.

  18. Must have caught something on the plane. Hope you feel better soon.

  19. Meleah says:

    Michelle:
    ha ha ha
    thanks for the type-o laughs.

    Lady:
    Thank you!
    Achooooooo

    Richard:
    I guess I should have gotten that!

    Lee:
    I kinda feel like I did when I had mono

    Nick:
    Thanks

    Silver:
    I have no idea where I got sick, but I feel really crappy. I am as tired as I was when I had mono back a few months ago.

  20. Selma says:

    Oh, I sympathise. I have the ‘flu too. My eyes are watery, I’m aching all over and I can’t stop coughing. Hope you feel better soon. Take care of yourself. XXX000XXX

  21. OH CRAP! I’m sorry to hear that! Lot’s of fluids!

    I wonder if the flu has hit NY state yet? I haven’t had my flu shot yet!

  22. ohhh no!

    … seems like everyone is sick, although the flu is the worst. Hope you at least get some good rest πŸ˜‰

  23. Rogelio says:

    Hope you get well soon… lots of rest… and soups…

  24. Momo Fali says:

    Oh no! Drink vodka.

    And, if you want to look at the bright side…at least you’re getting it out of the way before Christmas.

  25. How on earth do you go on vacation and come home only to get sick? You rest and take care of yourself. I hope you’re feeling better soon.

  26. SoLow says:

    Any better today, sweetie?

  27. Meleah says:

    Selma:
    Oh no. You too?
    I hope you feel better soon.
    This is awful.

    AIR:
    I dont know, but I am certainly sick.
    xo

    Speedy:

    I need a Doctah.

    Rog:
    Mmm….I could go for some soup.

    Momo:
    That is TRUE. Its better ot be sick AFTER vacation, not ON vacation, and BEFORE the holidays.

    Imitation Angel:
    I have really bad luck.
    Thank you so much.

    SoLow
    :
    meh.

  28. Random Chick says:

    Hey Girl!

    I’ve been kinda of out it lately. Just way to much going on and my anxiety has been acting up…so has my ulcer. That’s why I’ve been MIA. I just caught up on your vacation. It looks like you had waaay too much fun!

    I’m so sorry to hear that you are sick. YUCK!!! Wasn’t it worth it though? Hee hee. πŸ™‚

    Were you able to get some book writing done? I’m almost done with my proposal and now I have to write a query letter. It’s harder then I thought. I’m scared shitless to send it out…

    Well, drink lots of water, take lots of naps, and watch a lot of TV. If you do that last one a lot you’ll see how many loosers there are in the world and it will make you feel much better! πŸ˜‰

    I’ll be thinking about you!!!
    XOXOXOXO
    RC

  29. Ricardo says:

    I got dealt a raw deal today. Swing by if you have a chance.

  30. You must have kissed one to many cute cabana boys!

  31. Meleah says:

    Random Chick:
    Wow. I dont even know where or HOW to begin a proposal or query letter. I thought my book should be at least half way done before that? Hmm…I will be sending you an email chock full o questions.

    I am drinking tons of water and resting while watching TV. Lots of The E Channel and Law & Order.

    Ricardo:
    Oh no….I will be over as soon as I can.

    AIR:
    Yeah. Right. I haven’t kissed anyone in a VERY LONG TIME.

    I am thinking AFTER the holidays launching a massive online dating search….who knows?

  32. Aw! What a bummer!

    How cold is it in New Jersey now? Gosh, take care and rest well.

  33. Hey, I can help to advertise you online! ha

  34. Join the club! But I’m in the VERY, VERY, VERY long time club. The last one I was with was a caveman. err, cavewoman.

  35. Meleah says:

    RMH:
    That’s because You Rule.
    xoxo
    πŸ™‚

    AIR:
    Yep. Single & Lonely.
    (Not such a good combination.)

    Cavewoman. Ha ha ha ha

  36. Epiphany says:

    Feel better sweetie. xoxo

  37. The Rev. says:

    Ugh, I feel your pain. I’m just coming off a nasty winter cold that hit me literally THE DAY after Thanksgiving (sneeze cough sneeze wheeze).

    Here’s to a quick recovery! (Hoisting my Nyquil in your general direction)

  38. Aww man!!!

    Well, did you at least have a great time while you were there?! C’mon I know you did!

    Feel better Meleah! Soon… πŸ˜›

  39. Oh no! I hope you’re feeling better.

  40. Sinnerviewer says:

    Sending my love & prayers to you.

    xoxo

  41. SoLow says:

    “Yeah. Right. I haven’t kissed anyone in a VERY LONG TIME.

    I am thinking AFTER the holidays launching a massive online dating search….who knows?”

    Wish I’d known that all the times I traveled to Joisey in the past year… πŸ˜‰

  42. Meleah says:

    Steph:
    xoxox

    Angry:
    It do be sucking.

    Rev:
    Ugh, glad to hear you are finally feeling better

    Ricardo B:
    Thank you

    Betty:
    Im starting to feel better, Slowly.

    Sinner:
    xoxoxo

    The Girl I Will Bring Home:
    I am starting to feel better.
    What day is it?
    Thursday already…??
    Wow. I missed this whole week.

    SoLow:
    I am STILL very single and quite available.
    πŸ™‚
    Do you know any smart, funny, successful men I could date?

  43. Barbara says:

    Shoot, I am bummed you are sick! I hope you feel better soon.

    Smart, funny, successful men? I know some but none with all three of those qualities.

  44. SoLow says:

    I’d like to think I fit the bill on all 3, but the fact that my mailing address is in the Pacific time zone might hinder a LTR. However, I was offered the job of managing 3 of our warehouses in central Jersey, after I spent the better part of 18 months fixing them. I originally turned the offer down, but this could seriously force me to reconsider… πŸ˜‰

  45. Meleah says:

    Barbara:
    They really need to be FUNNY. That’s the most important to me.

    SoLow:
    Hmm….Jersey Can Be Fun!
    Where in Central Jersey? If you don’t mind me asking?

  46. terri says:

    Well that SUCKS! I hope you’re feeling better soon.

  47. Debo Hobo says:

    You get betta now ya hear πŸ™‚
