I hate headcolds. I've had one for going on four days now, feeling it gradually come on, sinuses swelling, post-nasal drip. I knew on Friday that it was not going to be good as my voice was cracking at the end of my shift and I wanted to sleep. Saturday, my voice gave out halfway through work... and when you're hawking things, you NEED your voice. I still made more than my quota because I could talk softly, so I went around the store, but I felt like crap. I left early and went home and died. I mean, I slept for almost 20 hours.
Yes, I'm one of those that sleeps when they're sick. I don't eat, I just drink water or juice and then head back into bed, which I did today. Laid on the couch to watch the Favre and Vikings kick ass against Dallas, but didn't have the staying power to watch the Chargers game (they lost, so that wouldn't have helped.)
I sleep, I wake up, I watch tv, I try to read, I sleep more. I'm off to bed again. Hopefully, by tomorrow, this crud will be gone... the cough is, but not the drip. I'm just thankful it didn't go into my lungs.
