I'm afraid I'm going to have to just toss the idea of the Stealth Duathlon next weekend. It's really frustrating and I'm pretty pissed about it. I tried running yesterday, and as soon as my heartrate reached the top of zone 2 I started doubling over coughing. I seem to have strained a muscle from coughing, which hurts like hell.
Also, at some point last night while I was sleeping somebody snuck into my bedroom and used a large pastry bag to completely fill my sinuses with marzipan. My head is about 5 pounds heavier than usual and completely stuffed up and I cannot get it to clear.
It is in this condition that I'll be going to a job interview this afternoon. Yay.
I'm going to lie down in my darkened classroom during my planning period with my white noise machine on and see if that makes me feel at all better.

I wonder which of the little darlings I teach gave me this crap.

Hope you're feeling better and that the interview went well. If it makes you feel any better, the adults I work with still can't wash their hands so there's always another cold coming around. It's not just kids.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your race but it sounds like you're making the best decision for your health.
I'm sorry about the race. But think of it as a strategic retreat. Push too hard when you're sick and you'll just be sicker longer than if you took a step back and let yourself heal.
ReplyDeleteBe well!
I just recently got over the same crud. My husband just had it and now he also has pink eye in both eyes and had to go on a business trip!
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon!!!
Ugh. I never did like marzipan.
ReplyDeleteFeel better.
Oh -- and if you're calling in a medic, Comm's recommended a prescription only sinus med the other day ... AlleRx.
oh that's so frustrating and disappointing! Hope youfeel better soon ( and hope the interview went well)
ReplyDeleteA neti pot; what's that? Is it like a douche for your sinuses? Kinda? Okay, I'll say "irrigate" instead. Anyway, I'm intrigued.
ReplyDeleteGeekgirl...yah, it's a douche for your sinuses. I like that one!
