Much sick~ma to chez Zmayhem.

smonster, I'm doing the same thing, only with hard cider.

Ooh, are we self-medicating? I'm down with that. Except I can't decide what I want. Maybe some hot cider with Sailor Jerry's to take to the dog park.

I was sort of hoping for consumption *just* because of how cool it sounds. As a disease, however, it would suck. (And I've been immunized for it.)

See, this is better! All the retro, steam-punk cachet with none (or less) of the drowing in your own lungs.

Well, I have a cold. And I was thinking how many people I know have something, so I wasn't surprised I was sick. Then I remembered most of the people I know that are sick are on the internet. I don't think I caught this from internet people

Skipping bunches. {{DJ}} Also, massive amounts of health~ma and surgery~ma.

Still overworked and overwhelmed here. But healthy!

{{{ DJ }}}}

Tons of health~ma to thems that needs it. Y'all need to get healthy!

Mom's visit is half done. Drive her to the train station in the morning. So far, pretty low key. Things would be better if it wasn't pouring buckets.

~ma to all the sickos.

I just wanted to set this apart from the general conversation and admire it.

Oh, Daisy. I wish I could give you a hug and a bottle of good scotch right now.

What Plei said. I am so sorry, DJ. For the loss, for the not knowing, for the everything.

and just as an FYI, you 'adjust' to being short of breath. Most of the people I know that are asthmatic don't always recognizes how bad things are

::raises hand::

::coughs into elbow::

Yeah, when I moved here, my asthma got way worse and I didn't notice how bad it was until I actually could breathe again.

Dude, who GETS pleurisy?!?

Dunno. I got pertussis.

I will admit, it made me stop making consumption jokes immediately though. Because "Dude, who GETS olde fashioned disease?!?" is less funny when you, you know, get it.

Feel better, Tep.

You know, I've tried to give my cold away Neither my mom or youngest sister will take it.

Then I remembered most of the people I know that are sick are on the internet. I don't think I caught this from internet people

Seriously, I know so many meatspace AND internet people who are sick right now, it's astonishing.

Tim and I went to a Christmas party last Saturday (10 days ago, not 2), and he and I were both sick. In the week after the party, I think at least 6 people reported getting sick. And we didn't make out with people or drink out of people's glasses or cough on them.

There was one other person at that party who had a cold, so we keep blaming her. But we actually think we're the Patient Zeroes. D'oh.

I started to guess pleurisy. I should have gone ahead and looked prescient.
