I realized yesterday morning on the way home from work that I was getting sick. The burgeoning sore throat that I hadn't paid any attention to when I was busy suddenly became quite evident. As the morning progressed I realized that the glands in my upper neck and under my chin were actually more painful than my throat. I dosed myself on elderberry ( Read more... )

So here it is, nearly noon in the middle of July. The apartment has been opened up since early yesterday evening. I've had to put on a heavier t-shirt and socks to be comfortable. It got down to 54 last night and right now it's an incredible 69 degrees! Absolutely gorgeous! It'll only get up to around 74 today, maybe a couple of degrees warmer ( Read more... )

So I felt fine when I got off work yesterday. I stopped by McDonald's for a breakfast treat and was in bed pretty quickly. I woke up around 1 pm to go the the bathroom and my stomach felt a little hollow so I grabbed half of a low carb pita and munched it. When I got up for good at 6 pm my stomach felt a little hollow again so I made so mac and ( Read more... )

Remember that abscessed tooth from the beginning of the month? Well, it's back. The penicillin killed most of it but left a little hard knot right above the tooth. Since it sat there for over 2 weeks without changing I was hoping it would just lurk until my appointment at the dental clinic came around (not until mid-Jan). Unfortunately yesterday ( Read more... )

There's a cool front on the way and I have hopes that it's coming more quickly than anticipated. According to the online weather it's supposed to be down to 99 by 9 pm but it's only 8:25 and it's already 91! Anything to break this wretched heat wave so many of us have been suffering from. I'm lucky, I haven't lost power and I have a/c at home (just ( Read more... )

I've decided that there's nothing wrong with Walmart that a few well placed blocks of semtex wouldn't cure ( Read more... )

Yesterday about halfway through work I began getting that tell-tale tickly/raw feeling in my throat, and began feeling more and more like I'd been dragged through a hedge backwards. Right now about every third person in the store is down with a virulent, but thankfully short-lived crud so I was prepared ( Read more... )

It's damn hard to learn the ins and outs of a new job when your head is so full of snot that the new info can't find any wiggle room to get in. I can't remember the last time I've had this much trouble. I've used so much nasal spray in the last 24 hours I'm probably going to stroke out, but I woke up about every 1 1/2 hours last night unable to ( Read more... )

I'm nauseous, headachy, still stuffed with snot from my cold and I have absolutely zero on my energy meter, but I keep having the overwhelming urge to clean house ( Read more... )

I'm not sure what's wrong with my digestive tract but this is the 5th day it's been wonky. After last night I would have thought the whole thing would have been wiped and scoured clean but today I started feeling crappy again. Bad enough that I came home several hours early. I hated leaving early, too. Not only do I hate loosing the hours, but ( Read more... )
