Dear Future Sick Me: Read when the plague hits... AGAIN.

As soon as you feel it coming on: drink a gallon of orange juice with a fist full of echinacea & RUN like Forest to get provisions for what will feel like the longest week (hopefully less) of your life. You most likely have t-minus negative 30 seconds between when you are finally willing to admit you are sick & trudging through a store miserably trying to remember what you didn't put on your list so MOVE.

While you're out:

1. Get medications... the ones to help you sleep when its time to sleep. Don't waste precious moments of acceptable rest & get the stuff to dry you up, shut you up & knock you out.
2. Get more medications to keep you awake/functional.... if you actually find these update this blog post.
3. Get more "medications"... the herbals, the vitamins, the oils & the drops. At least the burn of what you lovingly call "the brew" will at least let you feel like you're doing something.
4. Get more "real medications"... call your doctor & get in asap to avoid horrid encounters with "not your doctor" & "not a doctor" that just add "Write a complaint letter to the Urgent Care/ER" to your to do list when you get well.
5. Buy more soap & remember your OCD flare ups (basic plague training 101)... wash your hands A LOT (nothing like a good scrubbing with what is probably a carcinogenic blend of chemicals guaranteed to kill germs to put your mind at ease)
6. Buy more tissues...there aren't enough in the world much less your home... & honestly get the ones drenched in lotion (your face is going to look war torn enough without the help of Dollar Tree sandpaper)
7. Put all the lazy groceries in your cart. We are aiming for low effort vs. high nutritional value... the medications will tear up crappy food just as well as it will tear up the good stuff... 

When you get back:

1. Pray that no one else in the home gets it.
2. When everyone in the house gets it.... don't panic.
3. Take all the Medications & power up the Netflix cartoon movies for the long haul.

We Made it Through!!!
Future you CAN DO IT
Thanks for prayers peeps. :)
