Meh.

Apparently, I really was getting sick. Damn. I started coughing on the way home from work on Friday. Yesterday, I still had some minor throat irritation and was coughing slightly throughout the day, but I managed a full day of being out and about. By the end of the day, though, I was exhausted. I went to bed to read at 11:30 and started falling asleep ten minutes later. I slept until 7:45ish this morning, which was good, but woke up feeling worse and sounding like a baritone. Oy. At least I'm not coughing uncontrollably like the last time I got a chest cold, but I do feel tired and congested in my lungs. Drugs have been taken to help clear that congestion, I'm drinking plenty, and I'm going to take tomorrow off from work just to be on the safe side.

I guess it's for the best that yesterday, I got a voice mail stating that the knife skills class this morning for which I'd signed up had been canceled and rescheduled for the 24th. Anyway, I had fun yesterday having dim sum with dee_cee and her friend P, and I got some serious shopping done. I bought three tops and a pair of pants at NY&CO, for under $50, and ordered a bra from Lane Bryant. I needed that stuff. Now I can throw away older, falling-apart, and badly-fitting stuff.

I was going to do laundry today, but I really don't feel like it. I'll do it tomorrow.

sorry you're feeling poorly!

i'm fast on my way to having no voice at all. i suppose tomorrow is out for work.

i did however get things done yesterday! i've moved more stuff into the spare room, and straightened up some things that remain in my bedroom. i didn't move furniture, just a box or two, and took lots of breaks, whenever i felt tired.

i've gotten as much done in a weekend sick as i do normally. wierd.

i really need pants! but i have no energy for shopping. i have exactly ONE pair of dress pants now. sigh. i did unearth a jacket that i've never worn. it looks a bit 'old fat lady' to me, but i think i can accessorize to nullify that.

I had lots of issues with most of the pants at NY&CO. For one thing, it was almost impossible to find my size in anything! For another, my size in "petite", while the right length for me, was far too tight. My size in "average" was too big and too long for me. In the same style pants. Also, most of the pants were "wide leg" or "flare", whereas I want "straight leg" or "boot cut".

I hate having huge legs and little hips.

So sorry the creeping crud has returned. It's been going around, hiding, then re-emerging like crazy all around me, too. Keep those warm toasty fluids going. Will think of clear pipes for you!

oh, damn. I'm sorry I didn't answer the dim sum invite email, I got spammed by life, but rude not to acknowledge a lovely invitation, I apologize. We had a b-day brunch for my niece, blah blah.

I had the same. Started Xmas Eve, I needed TWO rounds of antibiotics (the first, in December, azithromycin, did nothing: the second, amoxycillin, third week of Jan, worked. But I still have a scratchy, phleghmy cough and tired. So point being, it can get serious, everyone I know who's had it says it just never seems to go away -- and don't neglect a chest x-ray if the congestion doesn't go. But you seem pretty healthy in general, so likely your immune system will kick in and start fighting back. Goodluck!

Yeah, this doesn't include a fever or anything else. It's just a cough.
