Am sick, again. Am getting damned tired of it. I had to postpone my first degree class until next Wednesday. *sniff* Sucks.
This time, it's the cold/cough mess. Am already sick of hearing myself, but at least this time, I have a good secret weapon. It's called Endal, and it's got the serious narcotic shit in it. Normally, I won't take codeine, because I hate the hung over feeling the next morning, but right now, I don't care. I'll take anything that will help me sleep at night without hacking non stop. Bonus points, it makes me awfully happy during the 30 minutes or so before I pass out.
I gave myself a nebulizer treatment this morning to try to open up my lungs a bit. I passed someone in the hall way coming in who must have bathed in her perfume, and it just totally set me off. I was coughing too much to make my inhaler work right, so I did the nebulizer, and that was much better. Am still coughing, but much less often, and much less violently.
Will be watching myself closely, cause we so aren't doing the pneumonia thing again. First sign that this is going beyond norm, my ass is on antibiotics. Once I'm better, and Jess is home from her Thanksgiving visit, we're going to start back at the gym. I think it'll help immensely, both to improve our health, and to burn off some stress.
Tonight, we're going to finish watching the Alias dvds, and take them back to Blockbuster. Then, we can watch the next run of them this weekend, along with the Two Towers Extended Edition.
I was hoping to spend time this weekend helping
tobiasnevermore and
tiadawn move into their lovely new home, but it just isn't happening. The last thing they need is me and my plague-ridden self down there, coughing on all their instruments.
Sunday, my baby works til 4, then Monday, she works all day, then Tuesday, she goes away for 5 days. *sigh* I can't really bitch, because her family is coming down for Christmas, but I'll miss her. I'm just hoping she stays healthy for her trip.
Dad's job ends as of the day after Thanksgiving, but the company is kindly paying their health insurance through Feb. This means that if he gets a job quickly, it'll cover him for the 3 months most places make you wait for benefits. *sigh* If he doesn't fill out that Ikea application, I may kill him. He could still take his retirement, and work part time there, and get full benefits. It's one of the bonuses of Ikea. That, and gay spousal benefits. Go them.
Now, I shall attempt to concentrate on work for 20 minutes. *snort* Yeah, that's so happening. May use nebulizer again later, with plain water, so as to get a vaporizer effect. It might help loosen up the snot some.
