Monday...

I have no clever title for today. : (

I haven't been around over the weekend only because of feeling so crappy.

I haven't slept one full night since Thursday.

I'm pretty sure it is just a cold, which has been building up for a few days

and then hit really hard on Friday! My throat hurts all the time,

even when I'm just breathing. Still it isn't feeling good.

I was coughing so bad that I have the beginning of a 6 pack.

And I can barely move without a horrible look of pain on my face.

My entire body aches. I long for sleep.

I also woke up today ~ because I managed to sleep some last night

and it feels like someone beat me in the head over and over and over,

and over again with a 2 x 4. My right cheek hurt so bad, I

had to look in the mirror to make sure there was no bruise or swelling from

something that maybe happened to me.

There was no marks. I'm thinking it is bad sinus pressure.

I can't look around by moving my eyes, I have to adjust my entire head to look

at anything. It hurts too bad to move my eyes. It gives me instant, sharp, stabbing

pain behind my eyes and into my head.

My ears feel like I'm going into a higher elevation all the time,

like they need to pop. I try to yawn to help the process, but it doesn't do anything, but

hurt my throat. My nose is stuffed up, but still manages to run down my

throat once in a while, LOVELY, I know.

And also once in a while it will try to escape down my face. I'm missing skin from

wiping and blowing my nose so much. Not pleasant!

My lips are chapped from breathing through my mouth constantly.

Occassionally I sneeze, which is just about the beginning of the end

for me. It totally sucks. It hurts my throat so bad. It makes my loose my breath,

it moves all kinds of mucus shit in my body. UH!!

I feel sick to my stomach.

I haven't been able to eat anything in a while. I did a shot of cold medicine last night

thinking/hoping/praying it would stop my cough and I could sleep.

It just laid in my stomach like a bomb.

It wasn't even cough medicine, it was just straight up cherry flavored liquor,

at least I'm pretty sure of this.

I finally got over feeling the sudden urge to hurl and dozed off for a little while.

Today, Bryan had to go to work so I'm on my own with the kids.

Yesterday I only got up out of the chair two times, once to go to the bathroom and

once to shower, that was it.

I was forced to move today to get my little man ready for school and I'm even

going to drive him there b/c he has his stuff for nap time. I think

this is making me feel a little better, the

getting up and functioning. Like being human again.

But, I think at nap time I'm going to rest too.

I just can't wait till my throat stops BURNING!!!

The rest I can sort of deal with... sort of.
