Pasta Rules.

Today's post color is... pasta! Well, I think it kind of has a grain-ish sheen to it... right....?

Anywho, the topic is only loosely related to pasta, and that's only because I had a random urge to eat pasta today. This is actually a riveting tale about my current illness: A nauseating, throat-constricting, mind-blowing gang beat-down of a cold!

Bon Appetit ;)

I'm not really going to get into any gritty details for *slight* fear that I'll get bombarded with angry comments about monitors needing to be replaced...

This cold has been such a great experience don't get me wrong, but sharing isn't caring in this case.

Unless I don't like you.

I'll share this with you.

My not-so-subtle attempts at getting certain people to wipe their faces across their respective screens aside, I figured I'd share some helpful things to avoid if you ever find yourself in a situation like mine.

First and foremost, if you have the ability to do so, take medications. I know most everyone on the planet can drink unicorn spit, jerkbutt, I mean if you aren't on any medications that the cold medicine would interfere with, take them. Yes, I know they're gross and look like pumpkin gizzards, but I'm pretty sure you'll heal quicker. In my personal experience I couldn't take cold medicine, but my dad could. We both got ill at around the same time, and he's been taking the remedies (I got sick of saying medicine...) and he's getting better a lot faster than I am. There are tonics out there *just* for fighting these buggers, so if you can, I suggest taking advantage of them.

In my particular case I couldn't sleep that much, so I decided to be smart and tried to excersize to run my stamina down.

I broke a sweat by trying to sit up, so it wasn't my best plan.

Be an obedient leper and sit in bed. I don't care if your eyes are unscrewing from all the flailing around you're doing trying to get comfortable, don't get out of bed. We all are on the page that gravity is out to get us, right? Good. Well as soon as you get up, it's going to take that opportunity to introduce you to the floor (Think of it like a clingy ex), who then won't let you up. If you must, just be aware of this, okay?
