off sleeping, will be back in 8754 hours.

It seems as though I've developed a bit of a summer cold. well, more than a summer cold actually... it's bronchitis. I'm pretty sure I'm the only person who gets THIS fucking sick in the middle of summer. it's absolutely ridiculous how horrible I feel. I feel constant pain in my chest, and it's even worse when I cough. I can't stand without feeling lightheaded, and my throat is on fire. needless to say, I've been trying to get plenty of rest. oh, and I haven't showered since Monday. I feel disgusting.

I started feeling sick on Sunday, and limited my activity to just doing things around the house. our neighbors were having a cookout, but I decided to stay in... mostly so I wouldn't get anyone else sick. Monday, I felt much much worse, and laid around all day. Tuesday was even more horrific, and after attempting to go to work, I left early and went to the doctor. She prescribed me antibiotics and cough syrup with codeine.

You'd think that codeine infused syrup would knock my ass out, but it didn't. I finally fell asleep Tuesday night around midnight and woke to my phone ringing at around 9:40... it was my dad calling to see if I was coming to work. He'd been sick over the weekend as well, and he had his day of complete rest on Tuesday. I told him I was taking a day off, and I got up, did some moseying around the house, and took a dose of cough syrup around noon. My ass slept until about 6:30 this evening. I don't feel much better, but I feel more rested, that's for sure. my throat is still killing me, and I'm still coughing up big chunks of bright green goodness.

I haven't decided on whether or not I'll be going to work tomorrow. I guess it depends on how I feel when I wake up. Just wanted to give everyone a heads up of why I haven't been around. and I'm really keeping my fingers crossed that the hubs doesn't get sick... he is such a miserable baby when he doesn't feel good. I guess I can't say anything, he's been taking really good care of me. :)
