How I Feel Today

I feel so down, I cannot deny Dark circles sit under each eye My throat is so sore it’s beyond a joke I try to say something it sounds like a croak My nose is running just like a tap I’ve run out of tissues I’m now in a flap I ache all over my poor body is sore I just want my bed and to keep shut my door I’ll keep taking the tablets and drink up my tea And I hope feel better and get back to the real me

Jan, I can't stand being sick. I always know when I'm coming down with a cold, because my ears and the roof of my mouth gets ticklish. Great write my friend. ~HUGS~ Well done. :O) Keep up with the great work. Keep on penning. Thank you so very much for sharing your wonderful and creative talents with us. We all truly appreciate it. *S* Cynthia

Nice insight Jan, knowing it is none of my business, I hope that the cause was not heart breaking !!! Bill .

getting past the potential deepness of interpretation I see that my concerns where about nothing more than a cold

Jan , At least its not man flu , lol Hope you feel much better now , Vick on the soles of your feet might do the trick , Bed socks and a good nights sleep . Course that won't work for man flu. There will never be a cure for that ,
