Sick and tired of being sick and tired!

I don't have time to be sick!!! I could feel it starting Monday when I woke up. THAT FEELING in my chest. IT is coming. Later that day A.J. was diagnosed with it. I DON'T have TIME to be sick! Tuesday afternoon, Dr. says, "Good self-diagnosis...yep, it's bronchitis."
YUCK!!!
I usually don't get sick. I called to make an appointment with my Dr. about three years ago (the same one I have gone to since my pediatrician.) The receptionist asked if I was a new patient because I was not in their records. It had been so long since I had been in, my files were determined inactive. This time, when I went to Walmart to fill my prescription, they asked me if I still lived in Joliet. "Uh, no." I choked out as I laughed and coughed. "That address is from at least seven years ago!"
I guess I can't complain too much, but I still don't have to like it. Maybe it's the infrequency that makes it that much more miserable.
Here's a stock tip for you...Kleenex and the company that manufactures Amoxicillin! We are doing our part to support them. Christi has a mild case so far too. Please pray hers stays mild and that the other 50% of the clan escapes it. I wouldn't wish this on anyone. I'm ready to be done!
One more question...
Has anyone else heard the "home remedy" for putting Vick's Vaporub on the bottom of your feet with socks on at night? It supposedly has something to do with your feet absorbing essential oils. Jeff laughed at me. I tried it. It wasn't much of a scientific experiment. I also took a stronger cough medicine the same night. I was still up every hour needing a drink of water! Now I'm rambling. I think a REAL night's sleep might help.
There's an idea for Mythbusters!
