Early Bird Special: The Sick as a Dog Edition

April 30, 2012

Random thoughts before the caffeine has kicked in.

I’m sick as a dog and I am so over it. This is day 4 of being ill, but it’s been weird. Sometimes, I feel fine. A little tired, throat sore, but ok. Then I get a mad case of the chills that no pile of blankets can even come close to fixing and then, before I know it, the chills are gone and I’m sweating so badly that I’m looking for something to mop it up with.

Yes, it’s as gross as it sounds.

I’ve had a fever on/off but it doesn’t linger long. Just pops up, whacks me for an hour, then goes on its merry way.

Upper respiratory infection? The flu? Strep throat? A common cold? I have no idea, but it’s no fun.

So this is my official whiiiiine for the week. I don’t want to be sick anymore. I don’t want to sleep restlessly only to be woken by a young nursling and unable to fall asleep again. I don’t want to sweat through my pajamas. And I don’t want to eat anymore freaking applesauce because it’s one of the few things that soothes my throat.

You hear that, universe? OVER IT.

    Ugh.  I feel your pain!  My household of five is still not quite back to 100% after a week-long battle with a stomach bug (3 of us) and a massive head cold (2 of us…fortunately, this includes me here).  I hope you are feeling much better SOON!  I love the cuddly cow in your shot.  :)

      The cow was a very early dating gift from my (now) husband of nearly 11 years. He’s an old friend :)
