still sick

[mellybrelly]

Today was spent in bed and/or on the couch. I felt horrible. I woke up and felt like there were knitting needles stabbing my ears and I looked completely pasty white.

Tim stayed home from work, but is feeling a lot better than yesterday. I think I feel today how he felt yesterday.

Last night I had a bit of energy, so I cleaned the bathroom and a bit of the kitchen. Tim did some pre-weekend cleaning before he went to get Reagan this afternoon.

I finally broke down and took some daytime cold medication. I usually avoid it because I'm so sensitive to the stimulants, but I actually crashed afterwards. I just took some more, hopefully I'll get some more sleep, or some relief. I'd like some energy for folding laundry, there is a ton of it on the couch in our bedroom and it's driving me nuts. I've barely done a thing since Monday.

The bright part of my day? Getting netflicks through xbox and starting season 1 of The Office.

Barely done a thing!? It always sounds like you're busy with doing things around the house. Take it easy, you deserve a break and you'll not do yourself any favours by trying to work through the sickness. You'll recover faster if you give yourself enough time to rest properly :)

Ahh, I feel guilty for not doing more, especially since I'm not working, but you are right, rest is important. Tim gave me strict rules about not cooking tonight.

I know what that's like. There were extended periods when I was living in Canada that I wasn't able to work and I became quite the domestic goddess to make up for it! But you're only prolonging your sickness by not resting so Tim is right to make sure you don't do too much! ♥

And I really want this cold gone.. Tim has the next 9 days off and I want to be able to enjoy it!!

You know I know how you feel, but don't push yourself! I'm glad you were relaxing and watching the office. :)

I know you know, I could feel it in your posts.. where you get to the point where you are so sick of just doing nothing. Tim said I should go lay down for a while, but I was so sick of being in bed!

I hung up three of Tim's dress shirts, but that's all I've done today.

yeah, that's why I've been such a post whore lately. lol I actually posted a private post too, just because I needed to make a list and didn't think everyone would appreciate it after all the posts.lol

hehe, I don't mind seeing all your posts, and I like the lists ;)
