Sniffle
Being sick sucks. I’m almost certain we’ve had a nasty influenza. I’ve never been this sick before. Fever. chills. headache. exhaustion. muscle aches. irritable. runny nose. I’m sure this is why terminally ill people pray for death to come swiftly.
Cough Cough Cough
Written by Now Kristi’s down with it, too. This flu/cold/whatever it is knocked me flat for two days. Two days after that, I’m still camped under a blanket on the couch hacking my lungs out. Her cough started settling in last night.
So this morning we passed a new milestone in our relationship: coughing each other awake in the morning. In sickness and in health, right?
Down for the count
Rob has a sore throat and has spent the better part of the day curled up on the couch, shivering under 3 blankets and wearing my fleece hat from Edinburgh. He’s sleeping at the moment. I came home during 5th period with a migraine. It started during 3rd and instead of getting better, it just got worse and worse. I took some meds and then the nausea and the profuse sweating kicked in. Yay me! I came home and laid down for a while, got in the shower and have yet to either get dressed or take off my sunglasses.
We don’t do simultaneous sickness well. At least the animals are peacefully co-existing today and the phone hasn’t been ringing off the hook.
