So I am sitting here, resplendant in my sock slippers and yoga pants
wrapped up in a Lightning McQueen blanket and surrounded by a sea of wadded up tissues when the doorbell rings.
I get up to go to the door, passing the window as I stagger the 10 feet and notice the lawnmower guy literally JUMP off the front doorstep when he sees me through the window..
As I open the door he recoils in horror.
‘That bad, huh?’ I chuckle.
‘It is not swine flu is it?’
dickhead.
‘No just your garden variety’
‘Well, get better soon’ he says backing away even further.
OK.
Holy Shit, mother fucker! I even frighten myself.

Next time, you should go “cough, cough, oink”, just to see how fast he can run!
Feel better soon.

You don’t look too bad in your picture there, just a bit hungover, which is kind of sad, since you probably didn’t have the booze happy high first. I hope you feel better soon. Love the slipper socks.
Tell him not to worry, it’s just ebola.
Lovin’ the slipper socks – much cooler than my plain black ones (which I thankfully won’t have to wear for months because it’s summertime here *grinning maniacally*)

As someone who survived it last week, I can recommend a diet of Codral Original (the one you have to sign your life away to get hold of) and dried apricots. And the odd wild turkey and coke doesn’t go astray either.
See, I commented! Nyah!

Sweetie, I think you are the living embodiement of what the world means when it says, “Give me a break, already!” You definitely need a non-ailment related break! Hope you feel better soon, for sure!
foradifferentkindofgirl (fadkog)’s last blog post..tits list 2: bigger, badder and bouncier!
My housemates have been delightfully telling me over the course of today that I “look like shit!” while laughing and jesting that I have the swine flu.
Bastards
I guess I was sick first, so this is a recycled sickness in this house, but I think I have it the worst. Get better soon Kel xoxoxox
You totally should have coughed on him.

shelly’s last blog post..THINGS THAT SUCK…..WITH CUTE SHIT AT THE END.
Your eyes look miserable, but those slipper socks are awesome! I need a pair!
Oh geez! What a jerk. You definitely should have sneezed on your hand and shook his hand to say ‘Thank you.’
Hope you feel better soon!

I think the fact that you scared yourself is a good sign of good mental health. It’s when you stop caring that it all … oh, never mind. Mine’s already gone and done it.

Get better soon.
My small girl has some dreaded lurgy which has seen her temperature swing between almost normal and 40 degrees for the past 3 days – as soon as the nurofen wears off, the fever comes back.
Not Very Nice.
Hope you feel better soon.

Hello, gorgeous! It’s great ot look dreadful when you feel dreadful. I hate when I feel dreadful and look FINE, cuz everyone expects me to be FINE. I like to SOUND really dreadful when I’m sick, too. “Hack, hack, hulllooe? Doh, *sdiff* I’b sig. Uh. Bye.”
Get better soon, but milk it while you can.
Nan’s last blog post..RIP Frankie
My allergies are acting up and I haven’t washed my hair in a few days. I had to run to my kids’ school today because I totally forgot it was a short day and I was dressed in my rags and have unwashed hair, watery eyes, and all the other sickly looking ways I could look (no makeup) and I ran into one of the people who interviewed me for a job recently.
I looked really good at the interview. I’m not sure he even recognized me, which would be a really good thing.

The last time SWMBO looked at me with that look, that little fucker got all shriveled up and wouldn’t come out to play for a week.
I would’ve asked him if he had the time, and when he checked his watch, I would’ve licked him. Out of spite. What a DOUCHEBAG
