Feeling tired and achy? Wondering if you’re fighting something? Coming down with something? Sick?
Can’t find your thermometer? Let me help.
Did you drink about a gallon of tea today and wish you could crawl right inside it?
Yes.
Did lifting your tea cup to your mouth exhaust you to the point of napping between sips to recover your energy?
Yes.
Were you torn between wearing a snow suit and wrapping yourself in animal skins and sprawling nude on cold tile floors with all the doors and windows open and the AC on full?
Yes.
Did you get seduced by the movie your teenage daughter was watching and curl up in a ball on the couch and watch it with
her?
Yes.
Did you feel invested when the lead was grounded with no internet access, no cell phone and no way to get to the biggest party of the year, hosted by the hottest guy at school, who was going to ask her out that very same night??
Yes!
Did you feel a little pang when after 30 minutes of conflict, including escape from house-arrest, car towage and an allergic reaction, a love triangle, a seance and father-daughter bonding, the cutest boy at school crowned the sweet girl that nobody cares about, prom queen?
Euh.. maybe..?
Did you shed a little bit of a tear, when they kissed, without knowing why and then realize it was because you felt like a lonely 17 year old girl who wished that you were being crowned prom queen by a gorgeous football player that you have been pining away for since 8th grade?
OK! YES! YES I DID!!
Yep. you’re sick.
Make yourself a *Hot Rum (or 5), crawl into bed and stay there until you have watched at least 2 seasons of your favorite shows.
* If you don’t drink alcohol I commend you. You can still enjoy this tasty healing brew, just omit the Rum.
