Eeek? That's not going to win any fathering awards, for sure.
I, on the other hand, slept from like 7 PM until 6 AM, though I was up for an hour or so around 1 AM!?
Zoe: I thought you wanted to spend more time off-ship this visit. Wash: Out there is seems like it's all fancy parties. I like our party better. The dress code is easier and I know all the steps.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I've been up since 4:00 am. My favorite breakfast place opens at 6:00 - I got there around 6:15 and the doors were still locked and half of the staff hadn't shown up yet. But I only had to wait a few minutes for them to let me in.

Well, at least you know your eggs were fresh!
I still haven't had any breakfast, but I plan on some soon. I've also got a throat-tickle thingie going and suspect it may be a cold trying to come on. Time for the zinc gum, but I'm going to eat first because those make the entire world taste weird....

Huh. I've never had zinc gum. Good luck with the not-getting-cold.

Cold-Eeez makes gum as well as zinc lozenges, which really do seem to work for me in terms of not only alleviating symptoms but shortening the process, especially in the run-up to the Actual Cold.
They'd make a great weightloss aid, too, since everything tastes off for a couple of hours after you've had them, even water.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, I tried a zinc lozenge once, and could not handle the bad taste. Yuk!
I have big plans for the day. We'll see.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Yuck, indeed. Why not take a zinc supplement? I guess the lozenge works faster. Still, yuck.

The idea with the gum and lozenge is it gets the zinc directly onto the tissues of your mouth and throat which are the most affected by the cold germs you're incubating in your sinuses. Fighting them on home ground, as it were.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Cold-Eeze also makes a lolllipop for kids. I use them and think they're ok on taste. But sometimes they can make me nauseated. They only work for me if I get them in the first day of suspecting a cold.
All four of us have colds right now--everyone is stuffy, noses running and coughing. And we have no Cold-Eeze.
Lowes delivered a working dryer for us today-so yay! Dry laundry!

Yay, dry laundry!
I can't take the zinc things. They make me ill.
