So, when you're sick and you just can't be ... what do you do? Being sick in the head as well as sick in the body, I thought it would be magnificent to clean the house from top to bottom, washing bedsheets, scrubbing baseboards, detailing toilets with gnarled toothbrushes, spraying lysol like it was the breath of life itself. There was no doorknob left unturned, no dust particle left unmoved. With no shower, unsightly bedhead, and a delusional hysteria dancing all around, I admired my hard work with a glint in my eye. Just in time to see the boy dusting his hands of orange slice sugar crystals from his Christmas treat from the grandmother. All over the floor and in glorious dramatization. There were no words that could have stopped the snotty, teary mess that I dissolved into at that moment. Horrified, he begged to go take a nap. I thought that was quite honorable of him, put him and the sister to bed, and took a hot bath.
So since my methods of exorcising this hideousness are failing, what would you recommend? Aside from the leeches; I don't think I'm quite there yet. Yet. But do have some ready to Overnight, should the need arise.

Pbfft. They'd totally work. Wimp!
Hot toddy? Glass of wine? A nap?
Echinacea and Vitamin C?
Maybe you just need to try it a second time. Can I suggest you come to my house? :)
I do the same thing. I can always tell when I have a raging fever because I cannot stop mopping my floors manically. Good luck, and I suggest some vodka for your nerves.
Wine, wine and more wine. The alcohol will kill the germs and you'll feel oh-so-relaxed. Besides, drunk leeches are more fun than sober ones. Then take some Tylenol before you go to bed to prevent the hangover.
