Spirit: willing. Body: fucked.
Current health inventory:
* slept feverishly for the last two nights, waking up multiple times and alternating between hot and cold. Finally started being able to catch small naps during the day after several days of simply not really being able to sleep.
* decided to pick up antibiotic today. Currently taking Azithromycin (not allergic, hooray), Claritin D, and generic fluticasone nasal spray.
* started losing voice yesterday, still a bit wheezy from the day before. Voice totally gone this AM. Told Choir Director that I couldn't make it to class today and have put myself on forced rest/no talking.
* still trying to regain appetite. Today's food of choice: maple vanilla pancakes. Even I get tired of chicken soup when that's all I eat for about three or four days straight. Will make plain chicken later tonight. All of my fruits taste funny, and thoughts of my veggies make me somewhat nauseous. Drinking carrot juice.
* ears still hurt/stuffed. Messes up my equilibrium - and I'm beginning to suspect that that is what is making me sick to my stomach upon waking.
* started new mood-related med yesterday.
Upcoming activity inventory:
* big damn dog show on Saturday.
* start another puppy class on Sunday.
* leave for choir tour on Tuesday, come home on Wednesday.
* second week of puppy class on Wednesday evening.
Fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck.
Also: it is hard to train a dog with no voice. I'm thinking about using hand commands at the show on Saturday. I'll have to ask the judge whether that is OK.
