I have a cold, or something.
I'm not sure if it's allergies, because of all the insane rain we've gotten around here that actually-gasp-made some stuff GROW this year, or if it's a cold, owing to the fact that I spend 5 days a week in a germ factory, AKA public school.
I stopped getting sick a lot once I started running. That's a good thing, because since I became a teacher, almost everything turns into laryngitis. It's tricky teaching 35 students when you've got that, but I've found that with PowerPoint, a meter stick, and a cowbell, you can get a lot done.
Anyway, as I said, I don't get sick very much, so when I do, I get extra whiney and miserable. Time was when just the people around me had to listen to it. That was before I got a blog.
It's not that I'm feverish and desperately dehydreated, throwing up, or ill, I just have one of those extremely annoying little bugs. Allow me to share it with you.
I feel like Bill the Cat looks. I even say, "ACK!" every once in a while.
DayQuill doesn't make a dent, and neither does Benedryl.
My right eye won't stop watering.
At this moment, the left side of my nose won't stop running, and the right side is all stuffed up. Just the right side. Occasionally, the sides switch, and then the left side will nbe all stuffed up and the right side will be all runny. My nose is getting red and chapped from all the blowing.
What this all means is that when I finally do go to bed, I'll have to flip from side to side all night long, because I can't stand laying on the side that's all stuffed up.
My eyes are burning.
I'm given to sneezing fits, about six at a time.
My throat hurts, and, judging by the sighs and the looks I got from Sweet-baboo this morning,
I'm snoring really loudly all night long.My cheeks ache, like someone is pushing on them.
Crap. I'm supposed to do a long bike tomorrow.
I'm going to go do another suduko puzzle and soak in a hot bath and feel sorry for myself.
