I declared myself well today . . . but

This morning I decided I was well.  I have been sick for over a week.  On antibiotics and an inhaler for 5 days, today the 6th day I should be well.  I slept all night, no coughing!  I had returned to normal.

For the first time since Sunday (today is Friday) I completely dressed and did the high maintenance stuff.  Full makeup, used the curling iron, I even put on a bra. I looked good.  I felt awful.  I was exhausted and I had a huge coughing attack. 

I was going to push through it.  I had over a week’s ironing to do.  The house is yucky.  And I want to go to the movies this weekend.  Then one of the lovely side effects of the antibiotics hit me.

Some of the side effects are intestinal upsets, dizziness, and nausea.  Today waves of nausea hit me.  I put myself back to bed and slept for 3 hours.

When I got up I did do some ironing.  Not much, but the pile of shirts is a little smaller.  And I put up the laundry.

Keep your fingers crossed, tomorrow I really hope I am well enough to go to the movies.  There are a lot of movies out there I want to see.

NO WEDINGS, NO FOOD, NO FUN

Since the first part of March one thing or another has been wrong with my body. Flu, allergies, respiratory, joint pain, tummy. Sunday and Monday Marty and I both had tummy issues. It started just after the brunch on Sunday with friends. Were we struck down by a virus at the exact same time, was there a problem with the food? I am betting the food.

What ever it was, I was down for the count all Monday. I called in sick to the County and made a home on the couch. Marty being a manly man was working from home, but not thrilled to be up. I'll tell you how sick I was, no food. Me the not hungry, but I'll eat anyway, nothing. Well, I'll take that back. Marty tried to serve me chicken noodle soup for supper. I ate maybe four spoon fulls and stopped. Queasy. I am sick of being sick.

Today I am up and moving around. Little Brother is coming Thursday. I declared myself well and back to getting ready for company.
