Today is the first time in days that I've been able to breathe through my mouth without coughing. It's a red banner day.
The cold hit me around 10:30am on Wednesday. I can pinpoint the approximate time because I though I was having an allergic reaction to the sunflower seeds I was covertly eating at my desk (they were dill pickle and are very tasty, but sort of disgusting to eat while typing on a computer near windows where everyone that passes by can see through). By the end of the day I was miserable. It didn't help that I had to wait for almost an hour for the first bus in a torrential downpour. My feet were wet, I was cold, and I knew I'd have to get reinforcements for the next few days. By the time I got home almost 3 hours after work, I was feeling like crap and promptly fell asleep, completely missing the Hidden Cameras show. That sucked. Missing my friend's wedding reception on Friday also sucked. Double sucked.
Because I had to teach a library skills class on Thursday afternoon, I went into work. A couple of co-workers were not very happy with me, but my options were few since no one else could/wanted to do the class. By the end of the class (talking for an hour when you want to rip your throat out is hell), I was ready to go home. I left a half hour early, but my boss drove me home to my door, which was nice. I drank my bodyweight in tea and lost my appetite. (I wish I would lose my appetite more often. It would make things so much easier.)
I have somehow managed to pull myself together a little bit and get on with stuff. I started on one of the major projects that needs to be done, so hopefully the momentum will get me through a few of them. If I want limoncello by Christmas (and I do) I am a month late. But I have time for a variety of candy and cookies and cakes (but no room in the freezer to store anything) and maybe some homemade bacon for friends who will be moving in a few weeks.
The idea of getting ready for Christmas is hilarious to me. I'm just trying to get through the next couple of weeks in one piece.
