So the crud I got in New York isn't going away, so tomorrow I'm hauling my happy ass into the walk-in clinic to make sure it hasn't developed into something worse than just a cold. The coughing has remained painfully constant, despite the rest of my symptoms clearing up in a normal amount of time. As a result my throat is often irritated and sore, ( Read more... )

This morning I woke up with the Queen Mother of all tension headaches. My alarm went off at seven, but I preferred to stay dead, so I turned it off and crashed for another hour and a half. By that point my body needed food (and painkiller) so I forced myself to get up and eat, downed some pain pills, and took a shower ( Read more... )

So I've managed to catch another cold. This one I'm pretty sure I picked it up from the son of my husband's cousin, who was grabbing me for hugs and kisses all night. He's also four. Being of an age where hygiene isn't a top priority, I'm pretty sure he was carrying something ( Read more... )

Well, the sore throat is mostly gone (just some lingering discomfort), but now I'm all stuffed up. When I can't breathe I slow down, and just walking from the bedroom to the living room is enough to wind me. So the fact that I'm being somewhat productive today is surprising. I'm doing laundry right now, did the dishes, and made the bed. Admittedly ( Read more... )

I've been dealing with the sinus headache from hell since last Wednesday, when I woke up with a raging sore throat which morphed into the Head Cold From Hell. Even when I was clogged and miserable on St. Patrick's Day I still mustered energy to make corned beef, steamed cabbage, mashed potatoes and soda bread. After that, I was lucky if I could ( Read more... )

I've come down with the crud that seems to be making the rounds in my hometown. A sore throat, chest and nasal congestion, a cough...all in all not fun. I've been setting the alarm on my cell phone in hopes of training myself to get up earlier because all next week I have to drag my butt out of bed to take care of my in-laws' dog ( Read more... )

Today is the annual Diabetes Walk in my town. Every year they organize a fund raising walk along the river, inviting the community to participate. Naturally various businesses and organizations get involved (like Hanford SWAT, for example) to raise money to help fight the disease that's tied with Alzheimer's as the seventh leading cause of death ( Read more... )

So today, I woke up feeling a little better. I had scrambled eggs and a bagel for breakfast, and then spent the rest of the day sitting on the couch. While I feel loads better than I did yesterday, I didn't feel up to leaving the house. I had planned on finishing my skirt, but lazy won the day so I watched TV and played video games most of the ( Read more... )

I think I'm coming down with a cold, which sucks. I hate being sick. I hate knowing that I have stuff to do but can't because I have no energy ( Read more... )

So I need to do some personal touch up work before the wedding tomorrow. Unfuzz legs, tweeze the eyebrows, make sure that my hair has something nice in it - you know, make myself presentable for a wedding. Because even though the bride said that I could wear whatever, I'm old school and firmly believe that one dresses up when going to church or ( Read more... )
