Awww - time for a care package! Now that they have the "if it fits it ships" priority mail box - it should be easy to send her some chicken soup and hugs.
(I recommend chicken and stars, her favorite candy, and cookies to share with the roomie, maybe a goofy pencil or a cool coffee/soup mug.....)
Even if she is better by the time she gets it - it will make her feel all warm and snuggy.

I went to the doctor before work this morning - I'm 23 was still on the phone homesick with my mom at 6am, haha.
I'm sure a care package would be appreciated!

Last week I sent my daughter some Halloween goodies and room decorations, and a copy of the out-of-the-vault Cinderella DVD, which she and some other girls on her hall sat right down to watch. The Cinderella DVD was a bit hit.

Awww - I love it!
When I was in college, my church matched up each of its college students with an adult who sent random notes/care packages anonymously. It was called the Barnabas program. It was wonderful! My floormates were always excited when I got a package, because it always had stuff to share (microwave popcorn, hot chocolate, coupons for free pizza, etc.).
Care packages are the bomb.

^^^My church used to send care packages to college students and I LOVED it. It usually included a card signed by familiar faces, a gospel mix CD, and basic college staples (beef jerky, ramen, etc). I felt super loved when I got one. And my mom sent packages with stuff to share with my roomies. They loved her, too!

Ha! My mom lives 10 minutes away. I'm sick and was just over there yesterday for some snuggles! She gives me a care package every time I'm sick which means I have a million different cold medicines, several kinds of tea, and about 3 jars of honey.

I remember the first time that I got sick freshman year. I was so homesick, all I wanted was a hug from my mom!

I was already planning a Halloween care package with candy corn, hot chocolate mix (the really good kind, like Hershey's or Ghiradelli's), homemade pumpkin seeds, and .. wasn't sure what else! I like the Halloween decorations idea though!

I got a wisdom tooth taken out after work on Wednesday and the first thing I wanted was my dad--who happens to be 650 miles away in Chicago!

Same for my youngest. How did they all get old enough to be taking the PSAT?

No idea how that happened! The same way Hypo is old enough to be away at college!
Hypo is still sick. She went back to student health service today and they said "still viral". She had a dilemma and called me to get my opinion on it. Columbia has a program called Urban New York where they have a lottery for free tickets to all kinds of things around the city. She won a ticket to Peter and the Starcatcher on Broadway, for tonight. If she gives up the ticket, she wouldn't get another chance. Once they win, they can't win again. But she doesn't feel good.
I told her... "You're going to feel like crap whether you're sitting in your dorm room or sitting at a Broadway play. You might as well feel like crap on Broadway." That might not have been the best advice. But, it's what I would have done.

She's going on a campaign trip to Ohio with the Columbia University Democrats the weekend before the election. She's very excited
