Well that was different
I took a sick day yesterday - the sulfa drugs just kicked my ass, and I woke up barely able to stand the pain when I moved my head. My stomach was revolting, and I all over felt like crap, so I checked my calendar and used up some precious time off. The kids were off to school and the house was completely empty other than the doggies, and it was SO FREAKING NICE.
I can't remember the last time I had that many hours alone all strung together. Beds were made, laundry done, folded AND put away, book read, video games played, dishes done (see, even when I'm sick I can't allow myself to NOT DO ANYTHING *sigh*). And when I went to bed last night, the bed felt SO good, the best it has in a while.
The one benefit (I think) to this nasty med is that I don't have any appetite - Im eating just trying to put something in my stomach to help 'pad' it, but only just enough to feel I've eaten. Today the scale showed 180. ONE EIGHTY. O.o >.> Quick, knock on wood or something, or tomorrow it'll be up to like 185 again.
I've pretty much stopped drinking for now, which I actually wondered if I'd have issues with or not - it was common for me to get home from work and have 2 or 3 beers a night lately, for various reasons - but I have only had like 1 glass of wine on 2 different nights over the past week. I wondered if I'd have trouble falling asleep without the "help" - but I find that once I lie down to read or watch tv, I'm lucky if I can keep myself awake for more than 45 mins...
Icy/rainy type day today, but the weekend should be nice - think I'm gonna see mom tomorrow afternoon, got the Pats to watch Sunday night if I can keep my eyes open... =)
