Apparently, I have gotten a cold from... only GOD knows where. PT? The grocery store? Toys 'R Us? The Mall? The obnoxious Greek guy that tried to force me into purchasing a $39 remote control car from Greyson on his birthday???
It started, I'd say, yesterday, when my head felt just a bit... full. You know, the *bad* kinda full - not the good kind where it's just a bunch of great ideas in there, but the kind where you just *know* that if you touched it, it would squish. Eww.
And then this morning? I was a bit woozy-feeling when I got up, but figured, "Eh. Just not enough *good* sleep."
Middle of seminar for one of my courses tonight? WHAMMO! My throat is sore and scratchy, and I feel like someone is pinching my sinuses with a clothespin.
Ooh, yeah... it's a purty feeling, this sick-before-Thanksgiving crap.
And tomorrow? I don't even have time to BE sick! I have to:
- Drop off my paperwork for the Dispatch job downtown, where Human Resources is 13,234 miles away from the City Hall entrance.
- Do all the pre-Thanksgiving grocery shopping (BAH!)
- Go to physical therapy AND pain psychology appointments
- Find some smidgon of time to make it to the library and pick up either the book OR the movie of Gideon's Trumpet for a paper I have due next Tuesday (if I can actually GET to the library? I'll probably get BOTH, just in case. LOL)
And!?! I have to manage all this while juggling a three year old who now currently believes that the age of three is the means to it ALL, tossing out arguments and attitude as if he were in Junior High. Oh, yeah. The boy is gonna go DOWN, and soon, I tell ya!
If it weren't for the *still* COMPLETELY unsuccessful potty training completion (and the miniscule 30lb, 3'3" frame!), I'd honestly believe that somehow or another, I actually DO have a 13 year old. But then I would have had him at 14, and eh... even with *my* morals, that's just plain skeevy. Heh.
Toss in feeling like a conglomeration of wet towels have been stuffed into my sinus cavities while some evil gnomes must have been taking a whack at my throat with a brillo pad? Tomorrow. Will. Be. HELL.
Oh, and Wednesday? Yes, Wednesday will be filled with Greyson's 3-year checkup, then a haircut which is DESPERATELY needed (while I pray to God, Allah, Buddha, and all other variants of divine intervention that he doesn't scream like the hairdresser is SLITTING. HIS. THROAT. WITH. A. DULL. SPORK... AGAIN!). Once we get home? It'll be trying to throw something together for dinner, and then tackling a Pumpkin Swirl cheesecake for Thursday's feast... all before a 7pm seminar for school.
All together now... can we say, "Institutionalized?" Fabulous! Now, who can drop me off there??
2 Harmonizations:
Take some Nyquil and have a glass of wine. ROFL
Seriously I just got over a cold myself. Its going around, and it sucks. Feel better soon!
Thanks, Val! I'm thinking that a glass of SOMETHING is in order tonight... Medication interactions?? What's that?!? Heh.
GOD, I just hope that I feel better than this ON Thanksgiving, or else I'll be contaminating everything I cook. ROFL
Maybe tomorrow, Grey's doctor will take pity on me and hand out a prescription for something good - like Codeine cough syrup? LOL
