Not much nasal junk.com

Mostly fever and aches, only.

Taking vitamin C to bowl tolerance, plus other regular vitamin therapy. Seems to be holding things under control.

Knock on wood (or a bald head) I've not been sick since I started shaving.

But I think I most likely would still shave daily. Even when sick I do my usual morning shower routine which now would include shaving.

Post by: mrzed on December 05, 2012, 02:12:15 AM: Well, is 4 in the morning. Wide awake and feeling better. Still some aches, but the temperature is normal again. I'll probably rest one more day to work of these aches and be set to return to work (and shaving).

I'll assume that this does not detect from my almost one year status.

Post by: mrzed on December 05, 2012, 09:41:29 AM: Not feeling as bad as Tuesday, but i have not moved of the recliner all morning except for a quick run to the water closet.

Post by: imaginary on December 05, 2012, 01:15:19 PM: I don't think too many people care too much about appearances when they are sick, and this is coming from someone who has gone to the laundromat in a suit. I hope you feel better soon. I don't know about where you live, but where I am, the constant weather changes has not been friendly to peoples' immune systems.

Post by: mrzed on December 07, 2012, 05:04:25 PM: Still home. Feeling somewhat better.

figure I'll wait until Sunday morning for my next head shave. So, this is what one weeks worth of hair growth looks like.

Post by: buddha on December 11, 2012, 08:07:33 PM: Unless I am confined to the rack I'm shaving. Not every day, perhaps, but I don't shave every day when I'm feeling fine.
