Clear the mind
Sick Day
Came home from work yesterday aching all over and throat hurting so bad that I wanted to swallow novacaine. I stopped by Wal-mart and bought: sucrets, sudafed pe, nyquil, chamomile tea, and a new filter for my humidifier. My bedside table stocked with water, sucrets throat losenges, and nose spray; my humidifier humming in the bedroom, and a nasty dose of nyquil and I was set for a much needed night of sleep. Downside of nyquil is that as soon as it wears off, I'm wide awake and unable to breathe again. I was up several times between 2am and 6am. Deciding at the last "up" time that there was no way I felt like taking a shower and putting on clothes that should be worn to work and not in bed. I pulled the covers up to my chin and fell back into my sickly sleep.
Being in bed all day, even when sick, makes me feel pathetic. My Mom got up this morning with a "brain-splitting headache", her cheeks "feeling so sore and like they were stuffed with cotton" and throwing up stomach contents when she moved. Yet, she got up and took Dad to Wal-mart, made breakfast, lunch, and dinner, AND picked up my neice from school. How does she do it? I don't know...but obviously I take after my Dad more because he is happy to get in bed when he doesn't feel well. I am doing good today to check my email (from bed and laptop) and let the dogs in/out when they forced me.
So - for now, I'm off to drink more hot tea and search for drugs that will knock me out. Take your vitamin C and stay away from me for a few days!!!
