Sick and Tired
I’m pretty sure I have a cold or something; one week of sore throat, headaches and body aches, and now the ever-dripping nose? Plus a cough that started in my throat, and now is both in my chest and throat? (luckily, not a bad cough) Everything is on the “barely manageable” side, but I’ve called in sick two days cause omg, sometimes it dips into “wtf” and I drug myself up to the eyeballs and winkle my nose at chicken noodle soup. It’s not bad, just persistent, and like any time I get sick, it’ll linger for a month, I’ll bet. Oh yes, and did I mention the sneezing? Every few minutes, major sneezing. My system is trying to fight something off.
The question of course, is whether or not to go to my doctor. It’s sometimes hit or miss; some docs are like “you have this, this and this, here is this meds even though it’s probably just a cold”. Others are like “it’s just a cold, rest up and take up/why are you here?” The fact that I’m taking cough syrup with codeine should say something.
The nice thing is that I know my dad is home. If I call in sick again tomorrow/today, I can see whether I can get him to take me to the doctor and not have to worry about effects of meds plus driving.
