12/19/2013: "Day 18 of this wretched cold thing"

No, I don't mean Winter, but this cough hacking thing. Although last night and this morning, I haven't tried to cough up a lung (maybe it popped out already?!), I still have a cough that sounds normal and not so harsh. Of course, the body aches from all the prior days of hard coughing. Ribs, shoulder, stomach... I'll take a DayQuil tablet this morning to just keep it under control in case. Yesterday I felt so beat and exhausted, I wanted nothing more than to sleep. I don't know how I managed to work and yet I did. I crashed on the couch from 6 to midnight, got up, crawled into bed and slept another six hours. Wow. I was very tired. Woke up feeling better, had a shower, coffee and sitting here feeling achy but decent for a change. Though it's tempting to stay home today and tomorrow as Pat suggested, I'm not sick enough to stay in bed or to stay down so to speak so nope, gonna head into work when it's time. I think my voice is better today - gonna try not to use it except when necessary today. Not that my throat hurts, it's just that my voice seems more and more raspy when I talk for too long. Hrm. Am I a talker?! Heh, I don't think so, but yeah, yesterday I was too talkative and I think that caused the cords to be strained. I'll attempt to only answer questions and my calls without anything extra (like chit-chat and joking with my co-workers) Only today. And see how that goes.

Still haven't done any wrapping or attempted to bring the tree up from storage. I'm just too tired lately and thinking about doing the Christmas dinner is tiring as well. I'll have to ask Bri to go do the shopping for the needed items this weekend. Christmas is so close and I'm still feeling rough. I have some cards to do and until I have the energy to locate my cards... well, I think I may just stop at the Big Lots to pick up a box so I don't have to hunt around for my cards. Easier and right there. Maybe after work on the way home. And that's the ONLY errand I'll do.

Enough for now, goitta deal with cats and my hair.... not that the cats had anything to do with my hair... it's the order to take care of things. Heh heh.

Good Day and Good Blessings!
