Chronicles of a Curly Head: Down with the sickness.....

Helloooooooooooo everyone!

How are you doing on this fine day?

I've felt better but my attitude is grand as always!

This doesn't look like the face of a sick lady does it? Of course not! I meant to upload this photo (as well as every other photograph of myself that you'll find on here today) about a week ago, but I've been too sick to even look at my lap top.

First of all I would never take photographs of myself being sick. Ick. No one wants to see that dreadful sight. On second thought.... I did do a quick post when I was sick during my stay in Florida earlier this year, but I never truly posted anything of substance during that time. But I digress....

I'm ill. I look dreadful. I feel dreadful. My nose is stuffy. My body hurts. All I want to do is lay down. Whine whine whine whine. Cry cry cry cry. I know I'm a big ol' baby when I'm sick. I don't need anyone to tell me that lol. I feel bad for everyone at work having to listen to me bitch and complain the past few days. Perhaps I should buy them a fruit basket that says "Forgive me for all of my bitching. Have an apple! <3 Jenna"

Lucky for me I've managed to surround myself with loads of people that know exactly what to do in times of illness. Seeing as it is cold season it seems only fair of me to pass on the advice that was given to me to all of you! I am in no way shape or form a doctor nor are my friends (not yet anyway) so take this guidance as you will.......

This is a segment I like to call "What Jenna was told to do in times of sickness" clever eh?

1. Call your mom (I called and asked her to come lay down with me at my apartment....she declined lol)

2. Quit being such a baby and pretend like you're ok. It'll go away eventually. (I tried to ignore it. I failed. And it didn't go away.)

3. Drink a lot of water (no duh Jen)

4. Take adequate amounts of vitamins (where did I put those vitamins again?)

5. Drink an abundance of green tea (green tea is my life)

6. Eat 1tsp of honey every few hours (This is my own special advice. Honey cures just about everything. Trust me.)

7. Take a shot of wheat grass (Wasn't as gross as I was anticipating)

8. Nedi Pot...if you don't know what it is then google it!! (thanks again to Bryan for the help with that one lol)

9. Get a lot of rest. (In my case I decided to take 1 1/2 doses of nyquil and slept for 12+ hours last night....nyquil doesn't mess around lol.) Sleep is important.

10. Take a decongestant.

11. Take zinc.

12. Smoke a lot of weed and you'll forget all about it (This one just made me laugh.)

.......and that's all I can remember right now (I have a terrible memory). After taking all of the advice I was given into consideration/practice I do feel much much better. But alas the medication is starting to wear off so I'm beginning to feel sickly yet again. If you know me then you know that I absolutely loathe taking medicine, I much prefer the safer route i.e. herbal supplements, rest, honey, tea, etc. and hope for the best. Medicine in general just freaks me out. But sometimes you can't beat a good ol fashion dose or two of nyquil. It really does the trick lol. Speaking of Nyquil....I might as well take more right now. By the time I'm finished with this post it'll be time for bed anyway. Hello twelve hours of sleep!!!!

I know what you're thinking "Sigh. Jenna is such a drama queen. It's just a little cold. No need to write a big long post about her runny nose! I came here for the food not for the sinus talk!" That may be so. But somewhere down the line this winter one of you are going to feel a cold coming on and you're going to think "oh my gosh this is terrrrrrible!!! I can't be sick! I can't stay sick! OMYYYGOSHHHH!! What do I do in a time such as this?" And then you're going to remember me talking about being sick, and scroll back through my posts until you find this one so you can try a few of my sickness tricks. You're welcome in advance lol. But as usual - I digress.........

Other random/useless things I meant to post this week but didn't due to this dreadful cold..........

Did I mention that my pets always sit on my lap while I blog?

I don't know what it is, but they always come a running when the lap top comes out. It's gotten to the point where I'll get mad at them if they don't sit with me lol. It's somewhat expected of them at this point. I'm ridiculous....this I know.

Two of my favorite outfits from this past week.......

My favorite dress.

Polka dots don't tickle everyones fancy.

Mine is tickled to say the least.

My short stripped yellow sweater accompanied by nothing but black tights/underwear. Funny story behind this (everything with me has a funny story behind it lol):

I was heading outside to grab something out of my car (wearing this ensemble mind you) when one of my little old lady neighbors emerged from her apartment took one look at me and said "Hunny where are your pants!?!?" As if I had forgotten them somewhere lol. I mean this woman was seriously concerned as to where I'd left my pants and why I I left my apartment wearing only tights and a sweater. I figured it would be pointless to explain to this woman how it is occasionally fashionable to wear tights with matching underwear and nothing else depending on age, weight, gender, etc (I'm almost certain she's unfamiliar with Edie Sedgwick lol). So I answered her by saying something along the lines of "I'm not supposed to be wearing pants." Lol. And I just walked away leaving this poor woman puzzled behind me.

In retrospect I really wish I would've said something along the lines of "OHHH MYY GODD I'M NOT WEARING ANY PANTS!!!!" followed by me running directly back up the stairs to my apartment. Sometimes I'm really off my A game lol.

I was supposed to go Christmas shopping for family and friends at a local outdoor mall the other day......

I instead bought myself a tube of lipstick from Sephora and drank my way around the mall with my friends. How my night went from a wholesome Christmas shopping occasion to a night on the drunken town is beyond me.

I can only use the excuse "But I'm twenty one!" for so long.....I think I'll be able to stretch the excuse out until at least January. Then I really need to reevaluate some things lol.

Well it is time I bid you all farewell.....

I meant to talk a bit longer about my recent food adventures and what nots, but all of that dreadful cold medicine I took earlier is seriously kicking in. I think it's best for everyone if I just went to sleep now lol.

I leave you with nothing but peace, love, and a picture of two furry creatures named Kiddie and Kat.
