Sloughing Off The Death
by
I am finally beginning to feel better. My headaches are less, the ringing in my ears is gone, and I have only been through about a fifth of a box of tissues today. And the upswing of having The Death is that I think I’ve lost a few pounds!! So to celebrate, we went out to dinner! Yay!
After dinner we went to the book store and bought Sun a couple of books–a Gossie book (I love that little gossling!) and Olivia (that pig is darn cute, too). Sun received a Gossie book from my sister some time ago and so I got a second one ’cause I liked the first so much. My friends that were recently in town with their 2 year old really liked Olivia, so we picked that one up too.
Nothing like a bout of The Death to make me appreciate good health and my job–you know, the one away from home. I have spent an awful lot of time in my house this past week, too sick to work or dine with friends or meet one new online friend (whose medical problems make my measly bout with The Death seem like a pleasant walk in the park).
I still have very little appetite and no taste for coffee–two sure signs I am not feeling all that well. However, I am very appreciative to be on the mend and have things in the near future in which to look forward.
Oy, yes, sick is no fun. I’ve been up sick tonight since 1AM. Feel a little bit better, but not going to be eating much for a while.
…and yeah, when I don’t want to even THINK about coffee, I know I’m sick. I really don’t drink coffee that much any more, but I think about it all the time, except when I’m sick.
I am glad you are doing much better!! I will have to check those books out for my niece!
Glad to hear you’re on the mend!
No food, no coffee… yeah, you need to take your temp again. Doesn’t sound like a full recovery yet. Glad to hear you are feeling better though.
Hey, even a pleasant walk in the park can suck sometimes.
I’m glad it seems to be improving, hopefully you’ll be fully mended by the weekend (and I won’t have completely lost my mind by then!)
We are all battling the winter flu. Thankfully, nothing has broken out in full glory, as is your case. All the best wishes that you will soon be drinking the delicious evil brew soon again.
