Sick :(
I've been sick the last few days. If you want an indication of exactly how sick I've been, you know those to-do lists I tend to knock out on the weekends? Well, you'd think with two full days off work this week, that I'd accomplish something, right? No, not much of anything. My major accomplishments have been to feed myself (badly), make sure my kids didn't screw up too much, an MBU entry which was surprisingly lucid (or so it seemed at the time), and so far I've done the final read-through of four chapters of Broken Connections before I puttered out of energy (probably not the best condition to be doing a final read-through in, but I might as well). Other than that, I've watched my Facebook feed. I've watched Tumblr. I've watched a couple YouTube videos, but that seemed to strain my brain. Reading is hard. Watching TV is hard. Hell, sleeping is hard, too. I have failed at sleeping! Instead, I lie in there restlessly with the back of my throat feeling like one big aching acid burn that reasonable amounts of painkillers, alcohol, salt gargles, hot baths, hot herbal tea, honey, broth, soup, and so on can only temporarily abate. It's enough to make me strongly consider UNreasonable amounts of painkillers and alcohol. I'm going to need some actual sleep pretty damn soon. I am thankful the throat thing is my only symptom (well, aside from foggy-headedness, fatigue, sore, achy, stuffed nose, weepy eyes, etc.) so far.
My mother keeps telling me to take antibiotics. My boyfriend keeps telling me he will be here for me ... but then Wednesday, his day off work when I was really bad sick, passed without him showing up. I don't blame him much because I basically told him to stay away and not get infected. (Actually, I think I *exactly* told him that, but what I really meant was 'I feel so miserable can you just come hug on me because I hurt all over and can't take care of myself or my kids and wouldn't wish this on you in a million years but I'm not going to admit any of that so stay away.') I need a boyfriend who can read minds.
My hot tea with an unreasonable amount of honey in it seems to be perking me up, so I'll see if I can make progress on chapter 5 of Broken Connections.
