Life Sucks Sometimes...

I'm lying here on the sofa absolutely miserable and feeling sorry for myself. On Tuesday I drove the offspring and family to the airport for their return trip to Cowtown and then took myself and a friend on a bit of a shopping splurge. I needed some new summer clothes for my upcoming trip to Greece. That night I woke up with a totally stuffed head and sore throat and I'm now in the midst of the worst cold I've had in years. I can't breathe, I cant sleep and I can't get off the loo, all in all I'm pretty miserable and If I didn't know better I'd swear I have this weird bacterial infection going around called Listeriosis.

I know I don't have it though as I don't have a fever and never buy prepackaged cold cuts which seems to be the source of this outbreak. I have so many things that still need to be done in the next few days before we get on that plane and lying on the sofa was not on my plan. I still have to get back up to the cabin and fire all the pottery I made this summer. I still have a huge shopping list of things to buy to take with me and I have to organize all the bills and stuff for the two months we will be gone, grrr... I didn't need to get sick.

As my doc said yesterday, just drink lots of fluids, lots of Tylenol, rest and ride it out...guess that's all I can do.
