Ugh.  Feeling awful. 

Weekend.  Friday after work bf met me at the train stop near our friends w/ the new baby and we visited and had sandwiches with them for dinner.  Saturday I woke up too early again, 2nd day in a row, and felt lousy.  Just general tiredness - I thought.  Bf went with his mother to drop off her car for service and then had breakfast w/ her and visited with his aunt.  I dozed a bit and then puttered around all morning and finally got out of the house and did some yard cleanup.  It was a beautiful mild sunny day to do that. 

Later in the afternoon I took a shower, took a nap, and woke up w/ a sore throat.  Yup, a cold was on it’s way.  I skipped the book club, which I wasn’t all that enthused about anyway.  Dinner was a smart ones entree and I had popcorn and watched tv.  Sunday I still had the sore throat.  I puttered around in the morning and drank hot tea for my throat.  Took doggy for a walk by the creek because it was another nice day.  Did some laundry.  More throat gave way to the cold that evening and I took Nyquil.  I slept okay. 

I stayed home from work today because I felt lousy - sinus pressure and congestion.  And now my face and mouth ache.  I think part of that is keeping my mouth open to breathe through it, but I can’t figure out why the left half of my mouth/face aches.  I suppose that’s more of the sinus aspect of this cold.  Just took some ibuprofen to see if that helps. 

Food’s been off track all weekend, but I’ve been trying to drink a lot of water.  Don’t want to think about work tomorrow.  I could stay home again, or I can drug myself up and go.  I don’t know.  I’m sick of both tv and reading.  I kink of wish I could sleep through the next three days or so while this cold runs its course.  Reminds, me, I might need bf to run out for some more nyquil.  I don’t know if there’s enough for a full dose tonight.  It’s only 6:35.  The day feels like it’s gone on forever. 

Okay, I’m going to stop typing because all I’m doing is whining.
