Cold & shivery, then hot & shivery, then hot & sweaty. Cough out a lung. Repeat. 

Today has been a rather horrible day. I'm not trying to be a whiner here, but DAYUM. It started yesterday with a bit of a hack. Actually, no, if I THINK about it, it probably started Sunday. I couldn't sleep at ALL on Sunday night. I had thought it was my brain all being in high gear, but maybe it wasn't.

Then, there was last week. Last week I got so dizzy, I was CERTAIN I had an ear infection. So, I went to the doctor. She thought it was allergies since she saw no sign of infection. I've never had allergies before. Never. But, you never know, right?? So she gave me some Alervert and some Nasonex. And I DID feel better about a day later.

So, yesterday I had a bit of a hack. It kinda sounded horrible. Deep. Nasty. Honestly, I didn't give it much thought other than sucking down some airborne and a bunch of throat lozenges. Silly me!!

This morning I woke up with a fever. It was like I was drunk and walking under water. (I've been stoned like that ALL day too) It took just about all I had to get to the bathroom to go potty. So much for going in to work today!! Because if I can barely make it to the bathroom that is only 15 feet from my bedroom, chances are that I'm not going to make it at ALL at work. I set my cell phone alarm for 8 am, when my boss usually gets in, and went back to bed.

My alarm went off, I got up, called him, got his voice mail and left him a message. I went back to bed and crashed HARD. At about 10:30 or so I got a call from my boss. He reassured me that I did, indeed, sound like shit. Which is probably still better than I felt. They needed me to fix some web images for our website. No problem. It only took me 5 times longer than normal to do. I kept forgetting where I was as I was working. THAT is not good!! Hopefully, they turned out OK. No one called me back anyway.

I went to the store and got a stack of cold medicine. Cough syrup (Delsym because it tastes WAY the freak better than Robotussin), some Zycam (cuz that stuff REALLY works!!) and 3 bags of cough drops. I also found some comfy cotton lounge pants because ALL of my old cotton pants are ginormous on me now, and it was really annoying me. Jeans were just WAY too uncomfortable.

I really, really want to take a nap right now. Everytime I lay down I'm hot on the outside and shivery cold on the inside. Not too mention it feels like I have a 60 lb kid sitting on my lungs. Yuck.

I hate being sick. Hate it.

Ok. I'm gonna go take some Advil and TRY to take another nap.

Wish me luck.
