Need some sympathy...down with bad cold..

So my eyes are leaking cheeks are burning..I know I have cold because my throat feels sore and my otherwise rat like voice sounds so masculine. I hate headaches.. But here is the worst part...I expect to be pampered. Seriously. At 56 I like it if dad shows excessive concern. Sometimes he gets angry that I got sick but usually he checks on me twice or thrice in the night and that makes me feel like under teens. Do you like others fussing over you? I sure love it. And honestly tend to overact too.

I would bring you a tea with honey if I was not far

. I am also 56 until tomorrow, and an orphan since a few years. I have nobody to pamper me when I am sick, except my old cat

. Thinking about it, I was liking to be pampered when I was a child, but the kid was hating this, and I was telling to my mother that I was not needing a mother hen. I hope she has forgiven me now.

I don't know if you watched Australian open tennis matches. There was a small game in which Arantxa Sanchez Vicario and Henri Leconte played against Kim Clijsters and Todd Woodbridge. It was so entertaining and I thought Top must be like this. lol. Leconte was still playing quite well though he was acting..

The fans loved every second of the legends exhibition match with Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario and Henri Leconte on court facing Kim Clijsters and Todd Woodbridge....

@vandana7 I like tennis, but not enough to wake up to watch a match at 5 am. Double matches, mixed or not, are the best for the players to have fun. You need to have enough humor for two to play a double with Arantxa Sanchez

I'm sorry you are sick and I hope you feel better soon. I would throw cans of soup at you, but you are too far away. I like people who are close to me to care about my well being, but then I want to be sick by myself. LOL

Cold? Awesome. Here is my idea (you can call it insane... you wish). just as a Diamond cuts another diamond, iron cuts another iron, a cold can cut cold. Have a cold coffee if you like or even some ice cream. Share some with papa too. (He might fuss more... but then... we all tend to love it sometime)

Problem is, I don't like cold coffee. Ice cream I have stopped eating. :( Nor can I eat pastries. I can, however, drink cold water and cold juices. Milk shake? Tomorrow...bakery is close by. Human bomb...spreading cold all around.

@vandana7 Coming from your city, hyderabad, I realized that they make some of the best coffee. Sad that you do not like it cold. Milk shake sounds all good. Go for sapeta (sorry, I dont know what it is called in English) milk shake

I like that, too. Rest assured, your cold will soon be over. If you do nothing, it'll last seven days. If you take medicine, it'll last a week.

I like it when someone checks up on me too when I'm not feeling well. I feel fine now just still getting dizzy because of no sleep. Hoping I will catch up on sleep soon though. Feel better

That is so sweet that your Father is so concerned Vandy..you are blessed to have him there with you.

I am so very sorry you are not well. If I were there, I would make you niceties such as hot tea if you like.

I pray you are recovered soon. Vandy, if you think your throat has white spots, please get some antibiotic. You do not want the strep throat so deadly. I do have my son sometimes who fuss but not too much, not enough for my liking lolz

Every rule has some exceptions, and there are a few who strangely do not like being cosseted. You and me apparently do not belong to that group.
