For me, it always starts the same …..
Throat a little sore ….
Throat a lot sore ……
Increasingly difficult to swallow ……
Head beginning to get a little cloudy and focusing on anything becomes harder than it should.
Thoughts of ‘whoa, it might be coming’ but then I’ll take aggressive measures to ward off the possibility by gulping herbal crap and repeating the affirmation “I’m NOT getting sick” until my tongue is tied and I almost believe it.
And then …. I pick her up from day care …. and the telltale fluorescent line running from her nostril to lip confirms my fears.
Shit.
The Snot Monster is coming for a visit, and he’ll probably stay the week! How freaking rude!!
So tell me, how do YOU know when you are coming down with “it”, y’know …. what the blokes think of as Man Flu, but what we mums call a cold???
And even more importantly, please share some of your get-quick-in-a-hurry tips (or even get-rich-in-a-hurry-tips, up to you), the wackier the better!
Linking up this Tuesday with Jess at IBOT! It’s esstentially awesome – so is Jess, I’ve met her – and you can find it here - Essentially Jess!
