When This Chick Gets Sick...

Let me start by saying this:

"I'm not sick. I just REALLY don't feel well."

So, I woke up this morning feeling like crap. My head feels like it's smashing in on itself- no matter how much I tell it not to, my throat hurts, my nose is either plugged or a faucet, I'm coughing & sneezing. Yeah.... I don't feel well. AT ALL.

My dear hubby has sent me to bed for the day hoping rest will move the healing process along. We'll see. However, I am somewhat armed with a few neccessities.

#1. A book. If I'm stuck in bed for the day I have to have a book. Everyone around me has been talking about this book, and it sounded good. So, now I can have a little adventure without leaving this bed.

The Mysterious Benedict Society

By: Trenton Lee Stewart

An ad is placed in the newspaper asking gifted children to take a series of tests if they are looking for special opportunities. From wierd tests to a mission, these children are in for an adventure. I'm hoping to tag along with my box of tissues.

#2. A Feel Good Movie

Father of the Bride 1 &2 have always been favorites of mine. Whenever I need to watch something and just relax, these are among the movies I pick. A few others I enjoy:

You've Got Mail

Under The Tuscan Sun

First Wives Club

#3. A good nibbly. AFter all, you must keep up your strength while feeling under the weather.

If I had planned this better, I would have a box of Sees candy in this bed with me. That's right, a pound of their milk patties would do my wonders. I have cleaned out my local store of them before, and would have no problem doing it now. However, since I don't have them here with me, I will just have to fantsize about them instead.

Here's to hoping I feel better soon.
