Enter the First Cold

When I was pregnant with Isobel I got a cold every month. In the first four months, I got five. Normally, unknockedup Zoeyjane medicates the hell out of a cold. We’re talking Tylenol cold day and nighttime formulas, Vaporub, minty showers, hot baths, cough drops, an asston of OJ, a bottle of vitamin c (mostly cuz it just tastes so damn good), etc. etc.

Pregnant with cold Zoeyjane? A snivelling, whining mess of a girl. Achey, and sleepy, and mucussey. Coughing, angry, envious. UGH. On maybe some decongestants or one regular strength tylenol.

Isobel’s ending her, um, *looks at fingers* 16th cold. And as of an hour and a half ago, I feel the stirrings in my throat.

Eff this noise, I’m going to bed. Maybe I can sleep it off?

PS. Today, I’m wearing my skinny jeans. My size 0s, even though I’ve already gained 10 pounds. How is this possible? A hair elastic woven through the button hole and around the button, a long shirt and an undone 1″ zipper.

Now, how about yourself?


Your Thinking is Abstract and Sequential


You like to do research and collect lots of information.

The more facts you have, the easier it is for you to learn.

You need to figure things out for yourself and consider all possibilities.

You tend to become an expert in the subjects that you study.

It’s difficult for you to work with people who know less than you do.

You aren’t a very patient teacher, and you don’t like convincing people that you’re right.

What Kind of Thinker Are You?

  • For the colds try regular, plain ol' saline nose spray. That is seriously the ONLY thing that gave me any relief from my pregnancy colds.

    As for the quizzy thingy, I'm concrete & sequential *snore*

  • So sorry you are feeling crappy... hope the cold is short lived.
    When I think, I am a 'concrete/sequential' thinker. Sounds extremely boring.

  • I'm the same as you. Abstract and Sequential.

    And I say Tylenol it up anyways.

    Your Thinking is Concrete and Sequential
    You are precise, orderly, and realistic.
    You tend to get to the point and get things done.
    Difficult, detailed work is easy for you. You take things step by step.
    Time limits aren't a problem for you either. You work well with deadlines.
    What does drive you crazy is any sort of task that isn't precisely laid out.
    You don't like anything to be ambiguous. You prefer to deal with the facts at hand.
