Being sick

Well, this cold/fever/thingy has been completely kicking my butt since last weekend. Aside from making me feel like total #!%$&, this sickness has been seriously cutting into my blogging time! That's a shame because it's always the kids that suffer the most.

So in honor of this maladie that has overtaken my life, I thought it would be appropriate to write a blog on it.

It all started last Wednesday night at work. What is that tickle in my throat? I sort of brushed it off and figured it was nothing. Being part of the night-owl crowd, I attributed it to being tired.

More of the same on Thursday, so at this point I started to think something might be up. I went to the store, stocked up on cold medicine, and hoped for the best. Unfortunately, this thing was just getting started.

By Saturday, my illness was pretty much full blown. Work was a struggle that night because I had a headache, my nose was constantly running, and my temperature was well above 98.6. I couldn't wait to get home and go to bed!

Sunday. Yup. I'm definitely sick now. Stayed in bed until mid-afternoon and when I got up, my temperature was a sizzling 100.6 Ohh yeah. Feelin' good. I don't have sick time at my current place of employment, so I sucked it up and went to work that night. And again, it was another long night.

I had Monday off, so it was nice to step away from it all and watch the greatest show on TV (see previous post). Tuesday and Wednesday were struggles, but I could feel myself getting better (albeit just a tad). Today? I think the fever is gone and I can actually breathe through my nose again (I didn't know I could do that!). Still not 100 percent, but work will be a bit easier tonight.

I apologize if this put you to sleep and if you made it to the end, congratulations! You have won one our grand prizes, which will be named at a later date. Hopefully something interesting will happen to me this weekend so I can atleast sound like I know what I am doing.

By the way, I turn 26 on Friday. Wow. That's old.
