The last time I was here was Tuesday and I wasn't feeling so well. Tuesday was just the start, I've felt awful all week. I dragged myself to work Wed - Fri and each day at least 3 people said you should go home. I felt progressively worse as the week went on.
Yesterday was particulary bad as I was a coughing, sneezing, runny nosed mess and had a red nose to go along with it. I had a phone meeting I had to take part in and then left for the day.
I took a cab home and the minute I walked in the door I put my pajamas on and went to bed. I was absolutely freezing. Slept for 4 hours got up ate a little something and then went back to bed at 6:30pm. This morning I woke up at 7am. Got up had some breakfast (cream of wheat) and drank a whack of water (feeling mega dehydrated) and went back to bed at 10:30am. I then woke up at 3pm.
Eating has been a challenge as nothing appeals to me and I don't really have an appetite but I have to keep the energy up.
I think I'm on the mend. I feel a bit more clear headed and the sneezing is less. When I went back to bed at 10:30am the coughing was getting a little crazy so I took cold meds. I'm normally not a fan of cold meds as all it does is suppress symptoms but at least it lets you sleep. I'm just listening to my body today. I so want to be at least 95% by Monday. I hate being sick. I don't get sick often but when I do it's a doozy.
Just thought I'd check in and be back later more healthy.
Hugs!

Hope you're feeling better soon. Take the rest when you can get it...it does a world of good.
Hugs (from a distance!)
Good gravy, I hope you feel better soon! It *is* just a cold and not the dreaded swine flu, right? Ick.
On that tangent, Bath & Body Works have some adorable and nice smelling hand sanitizers. Normally I'm not too keen on hand sanitizers (don't want to breed superbugs!) but this flu season I'm making an exception! :)
