okay, so maybe I\'m over doing it, but here\'s my solution.
1. Set up a humidifier with some vicks in it (they make ones with special cups for the special vicks humidifier liquid)
2. Take a hot shower with one of those shower soothers...you\'ll smell like menthol but the good news is you might be able to smell.
3. Order chinese delivery with lots of hot chinese mustard. It goes best on egg rolls and bbq pork. It hurts, and you\'ll sweat and cry, but it\'s soooo good!
4. Eat your dinner on the couch while you drink a beer (or two) and watch your favorite lazy time movie.
5. Go to bed.
6. Call in sick tomorrow and tell the family that they can fend for themselves...keep a cattle prod handy so you can \"bite\" anybody who gets too close to you without your permission. Repeat steps 1-5.
That\'s what I do!
All that other stuff mentioned really does work great, just different strokes for different folks. And get rid of some of that stress in your life. You are dealing with a double portion, and it\'s cut down your immune system. It isn\'t selfish to take care of yourself now and then.
Get better chickie, you know we love ya\'!
