(I wrote this post 3 days ago, but for some reason SoulCast hasn't been letting me post. If it doesn't work this time, I'm going to take it personally... )
I’m sick.
It SUCKS.
It’s not as bad as having a migraine, and I’d take this over the stomach flu any day, given the choice. Still, having a head cold is a pain in the ass.
My eyeballs feel like they’re floating in snot. I’m sniffling and snorting like a bulldog on a hot day. There are no tissues in the house, so I’m left with 2 options: toilet paper... or sleeve. I can’t eat anything; not because I’m nauseous or anything, but because I’m just not hungry. I’m trying not to think about what my stomach is full of, but I suspect that this lovely post-nasal drip is contributing to the feeling of fullness. My nose is bright red and approximately 4 times its normal size. OK, I’m guessing about that last bit, but I refuse to look in a mirror to confirm that suspicion. My lips are dry and chapped from this oh-so-attractive mouth-breathing...Even my hair seems to be sick- it’s just lying there like it’s too tired to bother looking pretty today.
And is it just me, or does having a cold make you more stupider than you normaly was? I swear my IQ has dropped 50 points since yesterday morning. I blame the aforementioned mucus seeping into my cranium.
It’s not painful. It’s not life-threatening. It will be gone in a few days. So why do colds make me SO MISERABLE? I’m normally fairly stoic about aches and pains, and I can go to work under almost any conditions, but last night when I got called in to work, I actually cried when I hung up the phone. See? Misery.
LB is napping now. I was going to do the same, but it’s hard to sleep when you can’t breathe, so I’m just going to sit here and moan.
MoooOOOOOOAAAAaaaaaannn.
Grooooan.
Meh.
