Sick on Valentines Day

What a horrible way to start the day! I woke up with a tickly, irritating sensation in the back of my throat and now it's a full blown sore throat with swelling and the works - I HATE being sick but it just makes it worse that I got sick today! I was looking forward to a romantic dinner and enjoying some flowers (or whatever my hubby is getting me) and now I'm going to be miserable all day. Of course, getting pampered and relaxing in bed all day might not be so bad, if I can get some throat lozenges for the pain. Anyway, I hope all of your days goes better than mine is, Happy Valentines Day!

How absolutely rotten for you twistedvanilla to get sick just on Valentine's Day. I hope that you managed to get some lozenges for the throat, were pampered throughout the day and then recovered enough to enjoy a romantic dinner with your husband. Why does it always seem to be that when we plan something really special, something like this happens? If it happens too often, then we get a bit concerned about the same thing happening with the next special thing that we want to organise, or at least that has been my experience anyway. Also hope that nobody else in the family caught it and that the sore throat didn't eventually become something much worse than that. Again often when one person in the family gets one of these sorts of "bugs", then before too long the rest of the family are catching the same sort of thing. Sorry for being late with this twistedvanilla, but I do hope that in the end you had a very Happy Valentine's Day, either on the correct date or a belated romantic dinner with your husband. :)

it ended up being a sinus infection, and i was the only one who got it. i took a long hot bubble bath with a good book and my hubby kept the kids quiet and occupied while i took a nap and i felt much better the next morning, thanks. :)
