Sickly
I got a cold that fully manifested on Monday, and it's kinda mostly gone today! :) Yesterday I was MISERABLE. Went to work anyway, but once I got off, I went home and slept. Now, you may be going "WTF?!?" with my recovery time, but I owe it all to my body.
I have learned over the years to be able to tell when I am going to get sick- well, head cold sick at least. My throat gets scratchy, and my balance goes all wonky (don't know why, but it's a sure sign, I was banging into doorjambs and walls on Saturday). Anyways, I bought a humidifier from work on Sunday and ran it all night. Woke up Monday sick, but not dry like I usually am- you know, when you're so stuffy you mouth breathe all night and then wake up with your mouth and tongue pretty much completely dry? Anyways, I started taking meds that I know work with my body best on Saturday night before bed, took them Sunday and yesterday, and I woke up this morn (again, humidified air while I slept) with just a stuffy nose. SO happy that's it's edging toward better rather than worse. Although, last time I thought I got better I went all hardcore with work and such and got WAY worse. So I am taking it easy- mainly cause I have these two days off (Tues & Wed). I am gonna just relax and take care of myself more and hope it goes completely away instead of coming back with a vengeance! :)
Yay for my body/brain for sending the early sick signs and recognizing them!
