Summer Colds Suck!

Original caption: Not faked. I was trying to take a hankie photo cos I have a cold and sneezed! (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

I have been sneezing my head off for two days. At work they act like I have the plague. My cats are terrified every time I sneeze because I sneeze like a cartoon character. They’re not petite little feminine sneezes. Oh no! They’re monster sneezes that build lots of pressure before just bursting forth and make this AAAACHOOOO sound like you wouldn’t believe. I sneezed so hard earlier I thought I pulled something. Lord have mercy I hate a cold!

On top of the sneezing, my nose is red and is getting raw. I have been using my Puffs Plus, but I got them too late I think. And I want to know how in the world a nose can be runny and stuffy all at the same time? I never figured that one out. My eyes are watering like crazy. My ears are popping. My throat is a tad sore.

So now that I have whined about my terrible, horrible cold, I am going to watch Master Chef and go to bed.

Will This Illness Ever End?

I wasn’t feeling well this morning but I just chalked it up to a crazy morning and left it at that. I went to bed and woke up to sore throat, runny nose, watery eyes and headache. I don’t do well with colds. When I get one it is like it comes in and makes itself at home for quite a while. So for the last 2 weeks I have been fighting the stomach bug issues and tonight the cold. I don’t know what those people at work are doing but they keep bringing germs in and I am feeling worse and worse. I want to go crawl back in the bed because I am feeling yuck and cold. Instead I am about to get ready to go to work. Ugh.

Sometimes Adulthood Sucks

Yes, when you’re an adult you can do whatever you want. But that is only if you are independently wealthy and don’t have a boss to report to and have unlimited funds to pay all your bills. If  you’re an average person you don’t have those luxuries and there are days adulthood sucks. When? Days like today. I have to work tonight and I am feeling under the weather.

My head hurts, my throat hurts and it is FREEZING outside! I do not want to go to work tonight. I am about to go to bed and rest up. I just feel ugh. But the thing about being an adult is sometimes you just have to suck it up and do it. I don’t have the luxury of staying home. It probably wouldn’t help anyway. I don’t have anyone to baby me so I might as well earn money while I’m awake. I’m hoping to feel much better by the weekend and blow it out in style! My birthday. No, we’re not discussing the age. I’m like a fine wine. I’m well aged and quite tasty!

So while being an adult can be a great thing, there are days when it just sucks. Have a great day. I’m going to bed…

Hard Days

I am having a hard day. I got news that an old family friend was in a terrible accident yesterday and is in critical condition. He is only 5 years older than me. He used to come over to my house a lot growing up and I went to his. His parents and my father grew up together. It is just so unreal when you hear of people not far from your own age close to death’s door. I worry about him. I worry about his family. I haven’t seen them in years because I now live in North Carolina and they’re in Alabama. But just because you don’t see someone doesn’t mean that you just quit caring about them. I care about a lot of people I don’t see.

Please keep Dennis Miller and his family in your prayers today. They are in need of them. I’m sure the whole family would appreciate them.
