Man being sick all weekend sucks.
I saw The Incredible Hulk, played vidjya games, drew artz, hung with teh G, and we had a regular jolly old time. There was Buffalo wings from that factory place, and the 911 sauce was real good..
but damn, Flatliner and Torrid? hot stuff. Truly an experience. I could eat 2 or 3 of those I'm sure before going 'I'm fucking done' because they'd likely give me some kinda heart attack they are so horrendously 'hot'.
Getting lost in DC was fun..but I was mostly unconscious for that. Then there was the giant TV adventure, which made the lives of those in that Virginia home that much livelier.
So about the being sick part.
Thursday
Slightly scratchy throat. It grew, something like..I was parched. I had a soda from the terminal, which I initially thought was the culprit, but it turned out I had it before then.
Friday
Symptoms grow. Sneezing every so often, coughing. A little stuffy nose. Gradually worsens until..
Saturday
Good god. Headache, mild nausea, sneezing coughing (some hurting now) and fever. Whole body aches, making it hard to sleep. Constantly feeling exhausted. Mucus in nose and throat is prominent. I was swallowing some of that for most of the day, due to post nasal drip.
Sunday
Shit hits the fan. I feel like my body is made of lead. I slept, but I dont feel like I slept. My head is pounding, I feel like I'm burning, and every cough that wracks my body -hurts- something fierce. The snot buildup is absolutely horrendous, it dribbling out with me spitting every ten minutes, making me feel disgusting. Absolutely miserable, coupled with difficulties in getting home. (Stupid weirdo train and bus schedules on a Sunday!) Carrying a ton of luggage while being absolutely exhausted from sickies SUCKS.
Monday
Coughing is still some kind of angry little god. Sneezing constantly. Nasal drip, mild fever, nausea gone. Still blowing out snot, occasionally swallowing it due to drip. Couldnt go to work. Couldn't go to the majority of class. Embaressing myself during lecture, which I forced myself to go to despite being a ball of snot and grossness. I managed to still look feasable in class, and asked questions. It sucks that the halls and classrooms echo something fierce when I cough. I've got that deep, bronchial cough which sounds like my lung is going to come out..I've had it since I was a baby. Here on Monday night, I'm still feeling pretty nasty, but I'm going to force myself to work and class tomorrow, even if I have to get a crazy mask to work with and be Mr. sterile man man man. GO AWAY SICKIES.
Sorry G if you catch it. I was only IN YOUR HOUSE ALL WEEKEND WITH THE SICKNESS. D:
By the way what are those peanut butter filled pretzels called? They were friggin' delicious.
As a side note, My weight is fluctuating finally. I'm grouchy that I have some tummy flab, and want to work out like crazy RIGHT NAOW and all week but I'm SICK so if I talk or move too much I get nauseous and start coughing like crazy. Make it stop somebody.
