Happy New Year!!! 2010

I rang in the New Year with my parents, brother and my boyfriend at home. It was quiet and relaxed; we had dinner and ate paella, chipotle shrimp, two kinds of salad and wine. We talked a lot over dinner, rang in the New Year and ended the night with a board game. Today I had lunch with some of my gf we were going to go to the movies but it was such lazy day and I still had tons of food at my house so I had them come over for lunch. We talked lots about babies in our families, maternal clocks, weddings and working out, vitamins, cooking and many other things.

2009 was a great year; I am pleased with everything that happened… I learned so much in school this past year and had so many experiences working at the hospital. I traveled with my bf to new places and saw many, many, many awesome concerts. Met new people, found a job, joined a gym and the absolute best thing that happened is that I fell in love with an amazing guy. I am really lucky to have great friends and this summer was the first time that all the girls were together again. I’m really excited and looking forward to see what the New Year will bring for me… and I’m anticipating graduation day.

Hopefully I'll be better by next week when I have my hardest exams... *fingers crossed*











So current symptoms include...

Sneezing
watery /burning eyes
1 nostril congested, other runny
sore throat
dry cough, no phelgm
achy body
sweats
fatigue
sick blues :(

Ohh noooo

So it saturday night and I stay home to study for my up coming exam. Im talking to my mom about how Im gonna start taking echinachea to prevent getting sick. Only cus my teachers keep making the point that student tend to get sick more often during finals because of the stress and lack of sleep. Therefore it made sence for me to start from now to end of exams to take some sort of preventative meassure and avoid the germs from making me feel like crap!

So today is sunday morning and I wake up with a terrible sore throat and that icky feeling in my nasal passages. Which could only mean one thing... I'm getting sick! ... Oh noooo, what is going on? I thought I was preventing this exact situation from happening and now I feel that somehow instead of giving my immune system that little boost of fighting power, I have somehow made the enemy germs presence become aware to the army of cootie combating cells in my body.


So now I find myself feeling the cold slowly creeping on... I need to get some meds fast 'cus I don't need this not right now, all I have right now is nasal spray which is my saviour cus I can still breath minus the whisteling sounds from my nostril ....
I find my self at the pharmacy and my final purchase includes:
* Cold + sore throat pill ( night and day)
* Cod liver oil capsules [boosts immune system and ladies its great for hair, nails, & skin] * Cough lozenges
* mini packs of facial tissue


... I hope this is enough to help me out battle the war of germs, booo :(
