The cold seems to have localized itself in my nose and throat. I don't hurt all over as badly as I did, and I'm not running a temperature. So, that's progress.
However, I woke up this morning with a ginormous cold sore on my lower lip. Dammit! I don't mind carrying all kinds of plagues, but I don't want them to be so OBVIOUS. It's gorgeous.

The Ick
I think that I have gotten the Ick that has been going around the store. I've been alternately cold and hot and dizzy and achy and ooky. It's hard to tell if the achy is worse than usual, though, because it's been quite chilly and wet.
I came home early from work today, took a long nap, ate some fabulous spanakopita, and am trying to get back to sleep now. At least I'm off on Wednesday without any huge plans. Hopefully, I will start feeling a little better.

Aaaaaachoooooo
I never really had allergies until I moved to Tennessee. The only problem I had was that I was not able to breathe around horses.
Now that we've been here for almost five years, I just have to accept the fact that I Have Allergies. I've been laboring under the delusion that I have just had various colds. I rarely wear a coat and I have a tendency to leave a bedroom window open even when it's 40.
Most of the time, it's not an issue. Every once in a while, though, my sinuses go crazy. I have all kinds of tolerance for pain, but sinus pain turns me into a screaming bitch. I bought a neti pot, and that seems to help, but it still sneaks up on me once in a while. I just don't want to get into the habit of taking more pills on a regular basis.
I'm sure that all of the cat fur doesn't help.

Momentary Lack of Reason
Every few years, I have a meltdown when my biological clock goes off unexpectedly.
I think that I've made it perfectly clear in this blog that I don't want children, I don't particularly like children, and I've never wavered from that. However, I know full well (and am reminded periodically) that this lack of desire is not normal for a woman. Most women like kids and want kids and some will even do stupid things in order to have kids. Not me.
Yesterday, I started second guessing my decision. I'm staring down 40, and am certainly not healthy, so if I were to do it I would need to do it soon. No pressure or anything.
H and I touch base with each other occasionally about it. The conversation usually works as follows:
H: "Given any more thought to it?"
Me: "Hell, no."
H: "Me either."
Me: "Good. Let's go out to dinner and then sleep all day tomorrow."
He doesn't like kids any more than I do, and labored under the delusion for many years that men were supposed to get married and have kids. There didn't seem to be any alternatives to that plan. I quickly disavowed him of that, and he's been very happy ever since.
So, I had a minor freakout, made a few phone calls that freaked out the recipients, and then calmed down. Then the fun really started.
I spent hours and hours last night throwing up. At first, I thought that it might have been the bug that was going around. But, the bazooka barfing came on much too quickly, along with other very unpleasant things. And, it took place not long after I had Chinese food from our local, mediocre carry-out joint. This caused even more interesting conversations to take place.
H: "What would you do if you were this sick and had a newborn that needed feeding?"
Me: "BLLLLLAAAAAAAAARGH."
H: "And what if you were this sick for the entire 9 months like your sister was?"
Me: "BLLLLLAAAAAAAAARGH."
Delirium does odd things to people. Remind me never to need chemotherapy, either.

Blaaaaaargh
Why on earth am I so sick all of the time? Aside from the normal Crohn's junk? I've been sleeping every chance I get, I have been eating much better, and I have been getting lots of exercise.
True, I have no immune system. Maybe being surrounded by all of the plague carriers at Job #2 and being around the constantly open doors at Job #1 is what's getting me. Being tired all of the time can't help.
I started feeling gross last night at work, and went to bed pretty much as soon as I got home last night. The vomiting started this morning, and my head has been splitting as well. I think that I'm just going to go back to bed now. I really need to get over this.
