Nothing Much

/ life, sick

So, I went to the doctor and was diagnosed with a upper respiratory infection. Chris has one, too. We’re on almost 1800 mgs of antibiotics apiece.

I got another gift from Star (selfstyled) today! 🙂 YAY for Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants! 😀 And YAY for Christmas cards.

Boo to bills. Bwah.

Everytime I blow my nose, my right ear gets clogged up.

I read Harry Potter 6 again, and teared up at the end again.

I also talked to Aidan on the phone today. He sounds very happy. 🙂

I am cold.

Back to work tomorrow. Let’s hope I do okay. Lots of stuff was due today–Lord help me as I scramble to make it all up tomorrow.

Almost Back to Normal?

/ life, sick

I went to work for 1/2 day today and was convinced I was going to die by 9:45am. I left at 11, drove to Meijer where I got some orange juice, cookie dough, tissues, and I picked up a prescription. On the drive to Meijer, a few things happened:

1. I got unbearably HOT.
2. I couldn’t stop coughing.
3. My nose ran like crazy.
4. I became ravenously hungry.

The cold/flu whatever was breaking.

I finished in Meijer and went to Max & Erma’s and got my favorite meal for take out (BBQ Bacon Cheddar burger and Fries), came home, gobbled it up, downed two cups of OJ, and settled down to read and doze. Now I am feeling pretty close to normal save for the stuffy nose and clogged head, but at least I can breathe, sit up, and type without feeling like I’m going to pass out.

YAY for feeling better!

Now off to a quick shower and I’m heading downstairs to finish my Christmas cards and drink more orange juice. Tomorrow I’m going to the doctor just to make sure I’m okay, and to get my prescription reinstated. Thursday, I should be good as new for work. Yippee. 😀 It’ll be nice to live normally again. I’m really grateful that a couple of people at work were cool enough to help take up a lot of the slack for me–it really really took a load off. 🙂

‘Til next time…

Madness

/ ronni, sick

My little guy is off to stay with his grandmommy until Christmas Eve. I’d planned on using a lot of this time to sit in bed on my laptop and write away.

1. I got sick.
2. My laptop got sick.
3. I’m still sick.

Needless to say, I haven’t been doing any writing seeing as I can’t really sit at the main computer for longer than a couple of hours at a time. BAH.

I hope this goes away soon. I’m missing MORE work which means that tomorrow will be a right nightmare (provided I make it in tomorrow).

Mr. Laptop, in the meantime, is at the Laptop Doctor getting all fixed up and I should have him back January 5, 2006 or so. Let’s just thank God that I have two computers, and hope that I get healthy soon so I can go back to living. There is so much I want to do, and being sick really throws a few monkey wrenches into the works.

I’m off to lie down again. I was awakened by a really kick a$$ dream by my husband needing me to get some pictures off of a memory card. :( All I have to say is–someone in my dream was playing Anywhere Is at TOP VOLUME. That topped it off–not to mention the other great things about it. Ah, Nyquil induced dreams. Gotta love them.

Off to try to get better. Byeee.

Ugh.

/ sick

– tingly ears
– sore throat
– constant coughing (chest hurts when I cough)
– cannot breathe well at all (except through my mouth)
– headache
– when I lie down, I can’t breathe, nor can I stop coughing (I think Chris is about to kick me out of the bedroom!)
– my entire nose area hurts b/c I’ve gone through almost all the tissues and have resorted to paper towels and toilet paper!
+ I don’t feel as weak anymore

Should I stay home again? 🙁
