I do use something similar during the day, but you can only wear it for so long each day or it loses it effect.

Melatonin isn't helping for sleep as much as it has in the past.

Apparently the right combination of Swiss chard and miso creates a flavor like beets. I hate beets.

There goes my massive plate of fresh pasta down the drain.

Are you sick with a virus? If so, antibiotics aren't going to do anything.

I've had germs since before Christmas..first a cough and cold..then the snuffles went away but the cough remained. Now I have a new cold, probably because the child brought something home from daycare. I don't go to the doctor for colds though. I bought decongestants, but these germs laugh at my measly pill.

After a night out drinking this past Wednesday, I got a few slices of pizza from this place near the bar. In my slightly less than sober state, I decided taking a huge bite as soon as the pizza was handed to me was a perfectly acceptable thing to do. Said pizza had come directly from the oven. Can you get a third degree burn on the roof of your mouth? Yea, not fun. Just slightly higher on the list of fun things to do than biting into your tongue. Not biting your tongue, biting into your tongue.

Between those two little oral incidents and the bout of monkey flu (aka terrible cold/sore throat deal) I had, my mouth has been miserable this week.

Eek... Seems like everyone is sick lately but you really got screwed, sorry.

I don't think it's a virus. At first I had bronchitis, then the flu, now I have a really stopped up nose and a bad cough (which is what I had when I had bronchitis). I think infection has set up in my sinuses (which happens a lot for me, I had a surgery for it, but obviously it's still happening) and just won't go away.

Oh, sorry if you thought I was suggesting the vest. I was just trying to let you know I knew what you were talking about. I found it interesting how those vests helped our kids. Hope you don't have to wait long for the blanket!

Just realized that Valentine's Day is in a month. Josh is going to be with his new girlfriend and I am going to be alone. BRB, going to go wallow in my own self pity for the rest of the day.
