Just what the doctor order

I've been in DC since Tuesday and I've literally been in bed since I got here. I haven't wanted to do anything but stay in and sleep. I finally began to feel a little better on Saturday and Nelson was tired of me being cooped up inside and harassed me until I agreed to go out to dinner with him and his cousin Tony.

We left the house with no idea where we were headed but we ended up at Ted's Montana Grill. None of us have ever eaten there before but Nelson heard good things about it so we decided to give it a try.

It took a while to figure out what we wanted

especially Tony. Nelson and I shared secret snickers to ourselves because he told me how indecisive Tony can be when he eats somewhere new and how many questions he asks the waiter and he did just that! LOL

Nelson and I got the Red Rock Bison Burger. It's pepper jack cheese, fresh jalapeños, cilantro, fried onion straws, and their signature Z sauce on a ciabatta bun and it was delicious, probably totally unhealthy but so good.

Leaving the house was just what the doctor ordered. I'm happy he talked me into going out. I actually felt even better being outside and getting some fresh air. I guess he does know best... sometimes ;-)

I wish Nelson told me we were doing sexy faces I would have made one too...lol hahaha (He's gonna kill me for this comment)

I'm Sick

I hate being sick, no I don't think you understand, I despise it. I can be a brat as it is so imagine the level my brattiness gets to when I'm not well. I can't stand how sore my nose gets or how difficult it is to swallow or even breathe. Here's the regime I stick to when I'm battling a cold:

1. I OD on Vitamin C and echinacea. I can't take enough

2. Drink plenty of fluids especially water and orange juice

3. Use Vicks vapor rub on your chest, neck, and a tab under your nose. It will do wonders for a stuffy nose

4. Take Day or Nightquil for a variety of symptoms or Buckley's cough mixture. It tastes HORRIBLE but it really works

5. Invest in soft tissues so you don't end up with a sore nose

6. For a sore throat, juice some limes and mix it with honey and take a medicine cup full about twice a day.

7. Most importantly, get tons and tons of rest

I hope to feel better soon and I wish you good health during this winter season
