I can't believe this fucking influenza bullshit. I am not the type to lay around and not do anything all day. I HATE asking people for help and I hate feeling like my head is being held under water by a ten-ton anvil. Every day I think I'm going to feel better, I feel worse. I'm a tough cookie but when it comes to getting sick I immediately revert back to titty-baby status.
My throat feels like it is swollen shut, "It'll hurt if I swallow! It'll hurt if I swallow! MOMMY!" And is decorated with little white spots of infectious puss, my ears are perpetually plugged up as are my sinuses, I'm deaf and I think I've traded brains for cotton balls. Don't get me started on my cough.
So, to make myself feel better I just remind myself that it will all pass in time and I will not die; contrary to what the little whiny voice in my head is crying. I just roll these little tidbits of future frivolity around in my head and let them tumble like shoes in a dryer.
1. Clean my apartment. My husband is great at getting things done when I ask him, but I haven't felt like asking for anything beyond getting me a glass of water. So, the sink is full of dishes, there's bags of non-food items that haven't been put away, bags of trash that haven't been taken out, the living room is full of medicinal paraphernalia, snot rags, etc., etc. Ugh. God help me, I need patience.
2. Go for a hike. The weather has changed right under my nose and it is nice and warm and the flowers are blooming and I need to get some good spring photos before all the grass dries up and everything starts turning brown.
3. Catch up on my bible study.
4. Go shopping for my husband's birthday present. He'll be 31 on the 30th.
5. See if I can't get a few extra hours a week at work.
6. Hit the beach and get some painting done! I haven't drawn or painted anything since last summer! Bah!
7. Plan a party for Memorial Day weekend.
8. Groom my dogs.
9. Get my butt over to Pet Orphans.
10. Look into getting my credit score raised.
I know, my life is soo exciting, right? Hey, beats laying around here feeling sorry for myself.

I know my language might have surprised some of you. Yes, I do have a bit of a cursing problem, sometimes it is the only way I can express myself when I'm in a stupor. I don't feel compelled to censor myself because this is my sanctuary. I do apologize if I've offended anyone and I hope it won't deter you from visiting me again.
Oh, honey, I do feel your pain. I'm still sick too! Yuck. I hope this crud gets out of my ears & sinuses in time for my plane flight on Monday. Day 5 for me of it. I just told my husband that instead of feeling like "death", maybe I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. Would that be "death warmed over"? Joy, joy, joy.
I am so bummed that you're still suffering from this. :(
I hope that you feel better soon.:)
(((hugs)))
