Is there any possible way to postpone all illnesses until January? Or February, January's calender is pretty booked already. Although February is rather short. Actually March looks open at the moment.
So there was the food poisoning last week. And now I have this killer sore throat/throbbing headache thing. It's like a migraine with the additional symptom that I can't swallow and every spoken word hurts. I had dreams all night long that I had to learn sign language. The worst part is I can't swallow the pills that would help with the symptoms. I've never ever in my entire life had trouble swallowing pills, even those gigantic prenatal vitamins. Do they sell extra strength Tylenol in liquid form? I may be chugging the kids' icky syrup stuff later. Oh oh, I think I've seen DayQuil in a liquid. Blah, it's freezing outside and Greg's already gone to work, I really don't want to run to the pharmacy.
Mostly I hate losing days, especially at this time of the year. Does anyone else feel like that? I know I only have a finite amount of time on this planet and every day has to count. And when I'm sick and unable to do more than the basics (keep the kids fed and clean and the house from not falling down around around ears) I feel... Deprived. And grumpy. I don't relax well by the way, I like to be doing. So being sick and forced to take it easy makes me mad. I plan to be eighty years old and hiking and traveling and crafting and doing "stuff." I'm probably not going to make a very good old person, huh?
I have two Girl Scout things tonight (one with the Brownies, the other with leaders) and a babysitter coming to the house during the Brownie meeting (I have a babysitter! Hallelujah!). So I need to prep for the meetings and straighten the house so it doesn't look like wild boars live here. And the computer monitor light is starting to make my headache worse so I should wrap this thing up.
I had better be better tomorrow or... I don't know, insert some kind of threat against the universe here. Life is too short.
