I haven't had coffee in a couple of days, because for some reason i cannot stand it when I am sick. I may try it this morning, though, as i suspect the lack is contributing to my headache.

I though I heard my cat throwing up/hacking up a hairball last night while I was asleep. This morning I cannot find it! I wonder if I was dreaming.

I woke up this morning feeling like I'd been in a fight and had a black eye. My eye hurt and I had a headache. When I looked in the mirror instead of a bruised eye, I have a swollen eyelid. I have been trying hot compresses, but it still hurts. I feel like a total whiner.

I hate that!

I have never had pot de creme.

Whaaaaaaaaaaat? We have an amazing salted caramel pot de creme at work - you should come and try it.

Poor Suzi. Do you have arnica gel? That often helps.

I haven't had coffee in a week because of this cold/flu/plague. Some of the tea I've had has probably been caffinated but most of it has been green tea.

Most of my symptoms have resolved but my nose just won't stop running and now my nostrils are raw, oozing and crusty. I think I preferred the wracking cough. Will this never end?

What is pot de creme?

Aurelia, I think we have the same thing. I actually skipped strike-- I just had my students shove everything in the costume shop because I don't actually trust them not to launder something that is dry clean only. They have really poor judgement about that. Today (day 5) I seem to be starting to resemble human, but the runny nose is worse, and the hacking cough isn't all the way gone.

aurelia, pot de creme is a custard that is made in-pot - kind of like a creme brulee, but without the fire element.

This is day 13 for me. I wasn't getting any rest that first week though.

Thanks, Juliana.
