Erin The Great

There’s nothing like the flu to stuff up your head and steal every, if any creative impulse you have. It’s the craziest thing. As of this previous weekend, I’ve managed to have the flu 3 times just this season. It’s like nothing is able to combat this ‘Super Flu’. I’m not kidding, I was unaware that the human head could hold that much phlem, and I have year round allergies!

Having spent the better part of the last 3 years sick as a dog with just about everything, there is a full proof method that I believe most people have forgotten about.

Here is Erin’s ‘Mystery-Solution-To-Getting-Better-Faster’ It’s requires the following…

• Lots of Sleep, Tons of Fluid & Vitamins….. It’s so crazy it just might work…. also if you take alkaseltzer plus, drop it in some orange juice, that helps clear up all the congestion in your chest and head.

I love how we now live in a society where you can’t miss work when you’re not only sick but you’re contagious too. I’d say ‘stay home and get better’, but I’m a realist and I realize that most times it isn’t an option. How sad that even when we’re knocking on death’s door, we still have to keep plugging away at school and work because we really don’t have a choice. I guess we have a choice it’s just that the result from the other side of the decision is less than desirable.

I’m a bank teller and I get sick… a lot! I can pretty much bank on the fact that I’m going to get sick at least one more time before spring officially hits down. At least when it’s warmer, it’s harder to get the flu, thank goodness.

But thanks to the disgustingness of money and/or the fact that people sneeze/cough/ and hack all over you, not to mention the fact that only 1 out of every 3 people actually wash their hands after going to the bathroom… I guess I should be thanking my lucky stars that I haven’t taken a dirt nap yet.
