Ugggg
So the suspected allergic reaction has turned into a full fledged nose constantly running, coughing up grossness, headachy, cold
I may even have a fever but its hard to tell cause my hands are so cold.
I was feeling better this morning. Dad came and got me and dumped me at Walmart after work where I picked up some cold meds and a couple of discount easter goodies (so tempted to go back, everything is 50% off). I got home, took the night time meds I got (which only came in liquid form and tasted awful! ) had a popcicle and half a chicken ceasar wrap then crashed. I was feeling sorta okay when I woke up at 2:30 but it progressed into worse and worse and now my nose won't stop running, I'm coughing like crazy and I sound like a troll.
I called in sick to work. Admittedly this is where sounding like a troll helps. If you actually SOUND sick it makes it easier unnessicary guilt wise to call in sick because it seems less like you might be faking. Fingers crossed they can find someone to cover for me. I'll go in if they can't but I really don't want to, mostly because I know with the Mare and the Foal its gonna be a lot of work and I'd hate to think an animal got screwed over cause I wasn't functioning at my top levels
And right now I feel like a snot filled zombie
I hate losing hours/money at work though. All jobs should really have sick days. Yes I know some people take advantage of that, but it seems silly to me the way its set up now. The jobs that have sick days tend to be the jobs where you make enough money that if you took a sick day without pay it wouldn't really matter. In a logical world the jobs where the person makes little money would have the sick days cause they would need them more.
But then again, logic really doesn't seem to apply in the real world.
This sucks. Mom's right, I really shouldn't get sick this often. I need to get into a better routine and start taking my vitamins and stuff. Its my own fault really, I just tend to forget. I think my idea of putting the vitamins in with my depression/add meds might work.
What sucks is if I haven't shaken this by Thursday I'm gonna miss another Pet Therapy session, buggar.
But hopefully I can stay home tonight and then tomorrow I'll go and get some fresh orange juice and maybe some yummy bread from the local bakery.
