I am wearing... pants and a tshirt.
I am going... to take it easy
I am currently reading...a really interesting book called A Jump For Life: A Survivor's Journal from Nazi-Occupied Poland by Ruth Altbeker Cyprys
I am hoping... my body stops aching soon
Around the house...the washing needs hanging out
One of my favorite things . . .is my bed :)

Oh no, rest up and get well soon. Sounds like an interesting book you're reading.
Feel better Jen! Make sure you take panadol regularly. It really helps.
Take it easy and rest as much as possible. My doctor always advises this for flu-like symptoms as he says it gives your immune system a chance to kick in and fight the bug. Have plenty of fluids - it does not matter really what they are so long as they are non-alcoholic (alcohol can dehydrate you when you are running a temperature) and take paracetamol. If you take cold remedies containing paracetamol, DON'T take additional paracetamol tablets.
Over here,one can get somethng called "Day Nurse" and "Night Nurse" in either liquid or tablet form which contain paracetamol and I find these helpful - three doses of Day Nurse at intervals throughout the day and one of Night Nurse at bedtime.
Another thing we have here is "Lem-Sip". This, too, contains paracetamol and you must not take more than four sachets in 24 hours, three if you combine it with a dose of Night Nurse at bedtime which I do as the latter helps induce sleep.
The Lem-sip sachets make up into a hot drink. Sweetened with plenty of honey, which I love, I find this very soothing especially if my symptoms include a sore throat.
wow that sounds like a fascinating book, I might look that up next time at the library :-)
I love my bed too, Jen. :)
