SIck!!!

So yeah.. I've been sick for the past... 2-3 days. At first is was slight fever and that bitter taste at the back of my throat. Then is was headache and coughing. Then it my whole body ached as did my head (which I thought was going to burst wide open). And my cough and throat is still killing me. Gotta keep taking iburprofen... the effects of the last two pills are wearing out.. xD

Haha, anyway. Let this be a lesson for you all. Take care of yourself. Or you'll end up like me: gargling salt water every few hours (it's actually quite effective), and wishing your head would start throbbing.. not to mention regretting not dressing up as warmly for the past few days. I deserve this... ㅠㅠ waaaaaaaa

Some tips for you all.. so as not to get sick.

1. Dress up warmly!
2. Wash your hands every chance you get to avoid any spreading of germs to others and to yourself.
3. Get plenty of sleep: It gives your body much rest and strength.

There has to be more but I just can't think of any more. Here are some tips to get recuperate.

1. Drink plenty water and warm liquids... you know... not counting your pee...
2. Sleep and don't do things and avoid things that might worsen your condition. For example: walking out in the cold in your undies, drinking iced tea, or extensive "screen time". "Screen time" is a word that my dad invented which means any time spent on computer or tv or anything with a 'screen'. Screens may be hurtful. So don't indulge yourself in these too much.
3. Gargle!
4. Stay clean. Take a nice, hot shower, and get dry as quickly as you can so you don't catch another cold. But then, wait a while until you're feeling at least a teensy bit better. I felt horribly filthy when I woke up this morning with a headache, sore throat, and hair that hadn't been washed in 24+ hours. But I waited a while until the pain subsided and I had enough strength to drag myself to the shower. It was so worth it though.
