Sniff... Snot... Ouch!

Yesterday, despite my excitement about seeing Mr. Williams live, I felt like crap. I woke up because I was sneezing up a storm. I took some drugs, made my way to my hairdresser for an overdue haircut and while sitting there I lost count of how many times she had to pause for me to sneeze and blow my nose. When I came back home I drugged myself up good and fell asleep until Hubby came home.

We walked to the theatre with a short pit stop for some Hot & Sour soup (one of my comfort food when I’m sick) in Chinatown. I took some more drugs just to be sure I wouldn’t be sneezing during the show. I didn’t want to take any chance of becoming a distraction or part of the show for Mr. Williams, since we were sitting fairly close.

Speaking of which, what a show! I loved it! I particularly enjoyed the fact that he adapted the show to the fact that he was in Montreal, Quebec. He talked about local issues like only he can. It was a great show, and if ever that show comes out on DVD I will make sure to get it. His brain is truly amazing, despite or because of his addictions, no matter what, he’s a great entertainer! It felt good to laugh like that despite everything.
Thank you dear Hubby for a lovely gift – you’re the best!

I slept well, thanks to the magic of drugs. I did have a really weird dream (as if they’re not always!). My ex client did pay me. I received their cheque this morning. Now, let’s see if it clears… Hee.

I feel worst today than I ever did after a belt testing in karate. Back then, I had bruises to explain why I was feeling that bad. Today I feel like I was run over by a bus, and to make sure I was down for the count, the bus backed up and run over me again. My ribs are so sore from all the sneezing. Just tried to cough, oh dear! It’s a good thing we got our flu shot again this year.

I really feel like I’m aging… my body is screaming it… no matter how young my head might feel, my body is not agreeing; at least not today. If you’ll excuse me, I need to lube my nose and blow again…argh. Ouch! Damn it!

I'm SO glad your client paid you!! And that you had a great time and that your hubby loves you so much.

I'm sorry you feel poorly though. Thank God for tissues with lotion in them, eh? ;)

Did your ex client actually pay you, or was that the weird dream? And I'm sorry you feel so badly. Chicken soup...lots of it. :-)

Boo, hope you feel better soon! Feel a bit guilty, as i was just the same on tuesday - only just recoving now. Maybe i gave you a computer virus.

Please don't rupture yourself laughing at my appalling joke.

Oh, that sounds awful. Monkey posted a home remedy the other day that involves vodka, but if you don't have any vodka, well, you can probably substitute gin. Feel better!

pppaws: You almost read as if you were making fun of me! That's ok I can take it! ;-)
I love my tissues with lotion even if I need more lotion than that for my nose!

marius: I must say, that part of my post was weird - I blame the drugs! My ex client did pay me, that wasn't the dream. :-)

pigeon: Hello Stanger! You don't visit often enough to have shared your virus (computer or other). Hee.

flurrious: We have vodka and gin, but I don't drink, so... Orange juice and lots of water it will be! Thanks!

kara: Williams is great! He was actually very up to date, some jokes were very Canadian and even Quebecois (which I loved) and he, of course, talked about Palin, Mc Cain & Obama! It was really worth the $$ and me being there even if sick!

I am so sorry you are under the weather and probably sicker than a dog!
I do hope you feel better soon and drink lots of water!
Sorry, that's the motherly side of me coming out!

(hands you a tissue....and then the whole box!)
