Ok, so it’s not the plague. But what started off with a sore throat and some constant sniffing yesterday morning, turned into a horrible creature by the evening- so I went to the doctor.
My ears feel clogged, my eyes feel fuzzy, my nose is both blocked and somehow runny at the same time, my throat is sore and I have too much phlegm to handle. I really struggled to breathe last night due to all my blocked-up-ness, so I spent the night panting and today my tongue feels like it is sandpaper. I forget to mention that I sound half like darth vader.
The meds I was prescribed really knock me out, so I have been sleeping most of the time. Poodle is also sick, with more of a chest issue than what I have, so I give her her medicine and she gives me mine. On this sickness occasion, I have had incredibly shaky hands and so pouring the syrup into a 5ml spoon for her has caused me to mess, a lot.
I’m hoping that the meds work quickly for me, I really don’t like being home sick. I’d much rather be at work. But it’s unrealistic to be sick around sick children because they need to get better, and also, it is unrealistic for me to bend over a lot without my nose flooding everywhere. I have been booked off until Thursday, but let’s hold thumbs that I am better tomorrow.
I need to go cook dinner now. I’m not hungry. My tongue doesn’t taste. This sucks.
