Cheer Up Cherry?

Waaah. Bleurgh...

Coming off an illness that I still actually have I suppose but really must go to work today, look like I got beaten up and I think every portion of my body hurts, and now I'm noticing one of my ears is stuffed up a bit as well.

Feeling a little blue and homesick and like a yuck and yucky ugly person. Hoping I can make it through the day without crying at work (the traditional side effect of me feeling sorry for myself).

It seems these threads have been going around recently, and I don't want to take away from anyone else, but anyone who'd like to give me a virtual hug or attempt to cheer me up in some manner will be well appreciated.

Thank you.

Aw, cheer up, Chezza. Why not take the day off, go home, put two bars on the fire, make a pot of coffee, get some nice choccy biscuits (Hob Nobs always good if you can get them) and put a good old Ealing Comedy on the video. I recommend The Ladykillers or Kind Hearts and Coronets for these moments.

Hope you're feeling better soon.

Awwww! {{{{Cherry}}}}

Hows about a nice shade of Royal Purple or a Deep Forest Green to reverse those homesick blues?

I know what it's like to be missing home and the people who have known and loved you for a long time. All I want when I am sick is familliar things and people around me. Oh and a whole lot of molly-coddeling too, but maybe that's just me.

I'm certain that a fiesty determined talented funny hyperdynamic out-there fabulous chick like yourself will get back on your feet and be feeling better in no time at all. If only you can get through today! So head down and charge on through! Remember this is too will pass.

Huge Hugs and Masses of Positive Vibes coming your way ma'm!

Good vibes from me, too, Cherry. Maybe it's best to accept that you're having a blue day and, as Angel says, just get through it as best you can. Thing will look better when your body gets well.

And homesickness is horrible, I know, so look after yourself.

Schnoogles for Cherry. I shall attempt to cheer you with this spure-of-the-moment joke:

Q. What has four legs and drums.

A. A Beatles Reunion.

More butch hugs to hand out. And a joke:

A bloke goes into a pub, and hears a voice shout, "Hey, you're looking very handsome today!"

He can't see anyone, and finds the barman and asks him what's going on.

"That'll be the peanuts," says the barman, "they're complimentary."

Crap joke, but they're often the best.

I was feeling horribly rough last week and people were very nice, so I'm paying it forward. If you really must go to work (though if I were you, I wouldn't bother...), set yourself on Automatic Pilot, and focus on Sax's remedy - Hob Nobs (can be very medicinal although I prefer instant mash myself, but I assume I'm in the minority here) and a bloody good film when you get home.

Have a good cry when you can as well. It's very healing.

thanks.

*sigh*

yes, I have to go to work - I feel guilty that I've had people cover my classes for the past few days, "my classes need me," and I'm supposed to cover someone's morning shifts tomorrow and friday so I really need to come in.

I've made it here. Feels surreal.

Bleh...

Hey, have hugs'n'stuff. I have a whole bunch.

And sfd... I'm amazed you never got to the second part of the joke, about the cigarette machine trying to start a fight with him... it was out of order, y'see...

Lots of warm hugs.

And I'm with SFD: instant mashed potato, It's a Wonderful Life on video, a glass of vodka. perfect.

Feel better soon. Or pretend. Both work.

If there's anything that you want,
If there's anything I can do,
Just call on me and I'll send it along
With love from me to you.
To you,
to you,
...to you.

I know how you feel.

Have some hugs.

Oh, poor you. Many hugs for you. I hope you feel much better soon - the blues are lousy visitors at any time, let alone when you are ill. You know where I am anyway (though I've left my phone at home today... bah).

11:46 / 14.08.02
Ugh, imagine an entire pint of Lemsip, emotional or otherwise. And then think about how you don't have to drink one. That should cheer you up.

Huggles, Cherry...

But since Lemsip 'sorts the men from the boys', I assume, unless she wants a huge dose of the testosterone they've presumably put in it, Cherry will keep well away from it anyway.

Fellow feelings, Cherry. I've got the flu and feel bloody awful, too - dragging m'self to work to get things done, and oh so slowly.

Hope you're feeling better, soon.

Oh Persephone, there are windows breaking in my neighborhood even as I type! Wow!

Cherry if that doesn't make you smile, we'll have to get "the girls" to pay you a visit, and you don't want that now do you?!?

Heh, thanks. I am feeling slightly better as I think perhaps being up and about at work has helped - as I joked, "I'm off the lemsip now and back on the fags" - not like I was actually ever off them which probably explains the hacking cough of a 55-year-old truck driver.

But the thanks. I'm trying to be a big girl, but really I want my mommy.

And huggles.

hugs and cuddles for my gorgeous femme partner, have PM'd you my new number, and hope you know that *anytime* you want chat, a shoulder to cry on or ridiculous OTT flattery, I'm there, sweetheart.

Get plenty of bedrest, water and make sure you eat well and i'm sure the physical ickyness won't last long, and your essential Cherry-ness will reassert itself. You're far too fab to stay under for long.
