I hope that you feel well soon. In case its more than a cold, try the old remedy of a hot toddy if you have a fever. Its a shot of Brandy (preferably - If you don't have Brandy, use any whiskey), mixed with the hottest water you can stand and a spoonful of sugar. Drink it, get under as many blankets or comforters as you can and sweat it out of you. Don't throw the covers off you, even if you are very hot, as it will defeat the purpose!

Congratulations on your new job:3

thank you I might have to try that Friday when I'm off work
