Sicko

The last couple of days, I have sounded like this: *sniff* *sniff* *blow* *cough* *blow* *cough* (and repeat)

Tonight, I sound mostly like this: *cough* *cough* *clear throat* *cough* *cough* *cough* *cough* *clear throat* *cough* *moan*

I'm finally draining, but it's resulting in lots of coughing and throat clearing and...well...I'd like to be done. I can stand the vice on my head. I can stand the plugged and popping ears. I can even stand the nose blowing even though my nose is so tender and sore now. I just can't stand the coughing and throat clearing. It hurts my throat and every time I cough, my head pounds. I'm pretty sure Josh is going to make me sleep on the porch tonight to allow for a quiet night's rest.


I ran a bunch of errands today, even though I should have stayed in bed. I rested all day yesterday and it drove me to near insanity. Also, there was much I needed to accomplish before work tomorrow. When I went to grab my photos and sharpies at Target, I also browsed the clothing. I am at a loss for what is going on with fashion these days. I hated everything I saw. It was either boring, ugly, or made of hihghly flammable material. I don't want to wear clothing that might set my body to flames just by walking near a heater, do you? Who are they making these things for? Considering I was risking the healing process to browse the clothing section, I was pretty bummed.

I went to a really good Sustainability/Service Learning symposium on Friday. I want to post about it. But right now I just want to be knocked out so I will no longer feel the need to cough or throat clear. My friend Nyquil and I are going to bed soon. I HAVE to go to school tomorrow. I took off Thursday and Friday for the training and symposium, so I can't leave my kids with another sub. It was hard enough to leave them for 2 days. Fingers crossed, I'll be healthier tomorrow.
