whaaaa......

It is snowing again today. The local schools were either closed or on a 2-hour delay. Noah stayed home cause he does not feel well. Neither do I. My symptoms came on rather suddenly......2 nights ago right at bedtime my throat was really hurting. I slathered VICK's all over me and the next day that felt better but my nose was all congested......sinuses were stopped up. Funny burning, tingling way up inside my nose...What a mess. Whatever this is I have fought it off quicker than normal. I never had a fever that I know of though I had incredible chills. My nose is still a bit screwy and I am blowing and blowing and sneezing and then amazing creatures get hacked up and out.......(yeah I know it is gross!)

Now it is down in my voice box and chest. My nose is still not the best but better. I keep slathering VICKs on me and drinking plenty of fluids and wishing I could lie down to rest but cannot right yet. A steamy shower helped loosen things up this morning.

So here I sit. Should be doing so much. Feeling a little puny. I sort of just wish I could crawl back to bed and sleep it off. I have gone through a box of Kleenex and have moved on to napkins and TP. I have emptied my trash twice filled with snot rags. My fingers are feeling odd because each time I get finished blowing my nose I wash my hands with that alcohol waterless soap I keep at my desk. I let the wetness smear all over my keyboard too to help disinfect it. Now I find I can barely move my fingers as I think I have dried them up and made them stiff from all the alcohol!

And now.....my voice is about gone. I started out with a much deeper voice....now it is tightening up on me and very difficult to get a peep out of me. Now instead of sounding like Suzanne Pleshette I sound like the Godfather.

I have crafts for DECK OF ME to finish.......but part of me does not really feel like working on it. I never like to get behind and now I owe 2 weeks. HAVE to finish them both before this Monday rolls around.

I had tomato soup for lunch because well....soup sounded good to me. I boiled it over and lost at least half the pan down under the burner. Another mess to clean up.

I shoveled once outside today but may have to do it again. BUT may wait till tomorrow.

later......I need to rest
