Scary Cold
Why I feel this is the scariest cold/flu/sinus infection/sore throat overall ICKINESS evah…
1) I went to bed Sat night feeling okay. Woke up several hours later, wondering if I’d been abducted by aliens and then redposited back in my bed. I was fevered, my eyes were matted shut, my ears were popping and my jaw was….stuck. It ached terribly and brought tears to my eyes to finally work the stiffness out. When I did, my ear started draining.
2) I coughed so hard I was afraid my eyes would pop out. Then I coughed so hard I thought I might need Depends.
3) When I finally fell asleep this morning, I had the covers pulled up to my chin (was shivering). I woke up to a pin prick on my lip. A sharp, painful pinprick. Opened my eyes to find my cat, Hurricane, reaching out with his paw, nails slightly extended. Damn cat must have an insane sense of humor. ’specially because when I closed my eyes again, he repeated it.
I swear he was laughing when I croaked out some choice names…and of course, he was on the floor near the end of the bed, licking his paws, acting all nonchalant.
I’m actually thinking about writing. THAT, my friends, my prove to be the most frightening prospect yet.

I hope you get better soon! When you do feel better you should still stay home to help recoup before you attempt to go that place you work at during the day!!!

My hubby is the feeling the same, he says that he is starting to enjoy the taste of Buckleys (this cough medicine tastes disgusting but supposedly works). Yeh!

Oh feel better soon!! Rest lots. I had to smile about your cat. I have my cat who basically wakes me up in the middle of the night wanting fresh food. Misha would push her nose/face, on any part of me, to wake me up/move me. Its mostly my butt she is pushing. I have to get up and do it or I’d never get to sleep!
