A weekend of nothing...
Now that it's over I get to begin...
Yeah nobody loses and nobody wins...
At least I made out with a few of my friends...
still here...
I said what I meant it was true at the time...
I guess it don't matter now I shouldn't mind...
But nothing is easy pretend that I'm fine...
still here...
I can't speak but I still dream...
Vivid colors beyond my means...
I can't speak but I still sing...
Yeah still here... (C. 2006)
Another short song came to visit somewhere between being awake and a dream. I've had horrible allergies all week. I traded out Wednesday at work for Friday hoping the rest would make me feel better and it seemed to help a little but not much. Thursday I rushed home to after work to clean up before Sean's mom got in from Ohio and Jud, Josh and I made some dinner together. Friday was a pretty easy day with the kids though I worked a different schedule than usual. What started as a grey day became a beautiful afternoon and it was nice to have lunch at the open air upstairs bar at South Street with Jud and Melanie. By Friday night I felt way worse and went to bed late due to my coughing and congestion. I woke up yesterday with a throat so swollen I couldn't speak at all. My food yesterday consisted of two cheese krystals, some crushed pineapple and a route 66 orange slush from sonic. Yep it was an exciting day of drugs, falling in and out of sleep, gargling with warm salt water and little communication. Today my throat seems to be improving slowly. I decided to take a lortab (yes it hurt THAT bad) and knocked my ass out for a while last night. When I woke up at three in the morning I gargled, drank a glass of water and took a double dose of nyquil to assure me another slot of uninterrupted sleep. I slept a total of 15 hours when it was all said and done and I'm thanful for that. I've managed to eat a whole avocado and a small piece of soft crust pizza so far. I also made a small pitcher of honey-lemon herbal tea to sip on. I can breathe and the advil is actually helping the pain in my throat today so I'm pretty happy. Hopefully tomorrow I'll feel closer to normal.
The dreams I've had the past few nights have been random and odd. I don't remember much about them now but I remember waking up a few times and shaking my head. I think it's time for more ibuprofen and some more tea. Yum. After that Josh and I are watching a movie. It's just us at the house the next few days. He's got reign of the upstairs and I've got reign of the downstairs. Yep for now this is my kingdom- my empire of dirt. Time for this little piggy to roll in the muck.
