Almost everyone in British Columbia that I know is sick. These viruses are getting really insane. I have been sick since last Thursday evening when my throat got scratchy. Adam has been sick since last Wednesday. I picked it up from him fast. Normally I just get the beginnings of things take some Vitamin C and it’s gone, other than having almost daily headaches that can become debilitating with little or no notice, I hardly ever get SICK, sick.
THIS virus is SO FUN because it starts with the flu and NOW we have full blown head colds. AWESOME. My fever was so high Adam had to go out and get a thermometer so we could monitor it; it was into the 100’s. Even Gus is barfing. The other night I was so uncomfortable and my body hurt so badly I was convinced I had RLS [Restless Leg Syndrome] until I remembered that only people on TV get it and that I don’t have enough room in my life right now for anymore ’syndromes’ or ‘disorders’.
The worst thing about this stupid flu/cold other than the fever, sore joints and muscles, wet cough, then dry cough, sore throat, sore ears, ridiculous headache, and all the snot AND the watery red eyes [the watery eyes just set in today but they were already red and hurt to open] WE CAN’T SLEEP. Until the full head cold kicked in and the flu part started to get better neither of us could sleep. Talk about frustrating, all I want to do when I’m sick is sleep. Finally, last night I was able to sleep until I woke hacking up a lung at 5:30am and I get up around 7am so I was not complaining after the previous nights in hell. Not being able to play Guitar Hero is so lame I’m not even going to discuss it because I have 14 songs open on hard now. I am in awe of Riss who left a comment saying she battles on EXPERT. HOLY. [IF you are a 24 fan she writes the best after show comments EVER]
AND I get dinged $140.00 by my therapist for missing last Friday’s session because I didn’t cancel in time. SWEET.
As mentioned, coming Thursday:
