Down With The Sickness
Being sick sucks. Plain and simple.
I was a bit worn out after work Monday night, but that’s nothing too unusual after a long day, but something just wasn’t right. I ate some dinner, thinking that would help, but it didn’t. I just felt crappy all around. Then it hit me… these were the tell tale signs of a cold coming on. I immediately got pissed, as I really can’t stand being sick, and decided to commence a preemptive strike on the horde of evil doers in my body. (aka the germs) Rummaging through our medicine stash I was able to find the left over DayQuil from my last cold and washed down two capsules with a large glass of water. Feeling I was going to beat this thing before it even started, I watched a little TV and went to sleep.
Boy was I wrong. I woke up about 6 AM (which is way too early for me) and felt really terrible. A soar throat that felt like my air ways were on fire and a headache that made my head feel about 2X the normal size. Great stuff indeed.
Fast forward to today where I’m finally starting to feel better. The medicine seems to be doing it’s job and I feel like I have more energy. Hopefully this will all be gone by tomorrow, since I plan on getting some shit done with the site in the next few days. Trying to be creative while coughing and blowing your nose every 2 seconds isn’t exactly the formula for success.
