Mat and I were thinking last night that our throats were sort of dry. It led us to think that we too might be getting sick!
I took action and did the bizarre! My friend gave me the wonder medicine, Air Born, invented by a teacher and my neighbor says she eats a whole clove of garlic when symptoms are starting to occur. I did both. That's right, I swigged back a glass of carbonate herbs and I wrapped a slice of bread around a fresh, raw, clove of garlic.
It's what happened afterwords, that brought our marriage to whole other tolerant level. I reeked! I brushed, rinsed, flossed, gargled, brushed and rinsed again, but I S-T-U-N-K, STUNK (sounds better when you say it with a southern, twangy, accent)--BAD. Mat was trying to be kind and gentle, "Dang! Try gargling or something?" "I can smell it over here." "That smells going to be with you for a few days." You better believe it! You should have seen our attempt for a goodbye kiss this morning when he went off to work.
It's best that I nor Gretchen go out today. Unless you need protection from vampires?
Update on Greti, she started to stir around 2AM this morning and I went in to lay by her. Finally, at 3AM she asks, "Is it breakfast yet? I'm kind of hungry." I sprang out of bed! She eats! She is eating! This is good! Just a little bit of food, but at least there is some glucose in her.

I use odorless garlic pills to prevent that from happening now, they work great. It is totally gross to smell and burp up garlic all day!
the question is - did the garlic work? Poor Gretchen.
You are so funny. I want to know if the garlic helped? Maybe Mat should eat a onion or pasta or bread...then you'd be a delightful combo. =)
HILARIOUS! I can't believe you did that Mic! I can smell you from here. HA!
SO sorry Gretch is sick. :( Hope she feels better soon, although smelling you may make her vomit all over again!
Ha Ha...that is a good one.
So I was just thinking today that I really missed you at our little lunch group. Um, I think I'm glad you couldn't come today.
Pee-ew! :)
oh mic- this is too funny! sorry you are going through all this, but hopefully Gretchen is on the uphill and you don't stink anymore...i doubt it though.
