so i wake up this morning with this horrible feeling - no i did not have too much to drink last night - even though the feeling was quite the same - no i have the sniffles!! aaarrrrrgggggg, as if mondays aren't bad enough on their own.
now all of you know the 'office know-it-all', the one person who always has 6.5 opinions about everything and when something happened to you, it always happened twice as bad to their grandma's cat. well... I have about 4 of them.
they gave me the following advice:
1. drink corryx / corenza / advil / nurofen cold & flu
2. keep your chest area covered (this possibly because I always show a bit of cleavage), put on the heater / put off the heater / don't walk barefoot
teatime came around and into the chemist with me - what to choose, what to choose? after all the advice, i decided to buy all of the recommended potions and see which works the best (besides two of them were on sale which just didn't help the choice process).
on coming back i decided to go for the first option, corryx and a covered chest, but this made me feel better for about an hour.
i then opted for the second combination, corenza and a heated office, needless to say after about an hour of sweaty everything, I turned off the heater and swallowed an advil.
not feeling much better after lunchtime i tried the nurofen, and now much as can be expected i am lying flat on my back, barefoot, with a scarf around my neck, trying to type a post for my newly created blog feeling as though i am floating in and out of consciousness.
apart from the fact that i feel as high as a penguin up in the sky, my blocked nose and sore throat have said a swift farewell. even though i don't know which combination to attribute it to, i have opted just to thank all of my office-mommies for their wonderful advice and will try not to attract too much attention tomorrow, trying to avoid another dose of well-meant 'boererate'.
wishful thinking...
