Sick and Tired - ugh!
Well, so much for bragging about my terrific immune system. Last week, my son and my husband both had a cold. My son took great delight in coughing specifically into my face just to try and prove me wrong. Jerk!
Apparently, it wasn't up to the challenge because last week I had a stuffy nose and a sore throat. I tried to convince myself it was just an allergy, but no luck. Now it's a week later and I'm coughing like Typhoid Mary - ugh!
Ironically, I looked through my archives, and I had this exact same cold at almost this same time last year. I was headed to a conference in Charlotte, NC and was miserable the whole time, next week I'm headed to Denver for the same conference and I'm just really hoping I'll be over this by then. I even left work early today, which is totally not me and I've skipped every event I had going on this week - again, very uncharacteristic, but I guess if I don't rest up and kick this, I'm going to have a lousy trip.
I've decided that every time the weather changes drastically from hot to cold, it buggers up your immune system. It seems like people drop like flies around this time of year. Fortunately, I've had the other 360 days or so of reasonably good health this year, so I guess I can't complain too much.
The good news is that my family has been awesome. I live with all guys, so usually they aren't very sympathetic to me when I'm sick, but this time they've been really nice. Last night, my husband made us some delicious soup and he went to Scouts tonight and took camping permission slips for me. Blake felt really bad about getting me sick, so he's been making me tea and giving me comforting hugs, when I'm feeling really ucky.
Wish me luck!
