I wish I could say I had a bunch of clever ‘wonderings’ to post here, but I don’t. Instead, I’m going to mostly whine about how being sick sucks.
1. Being sick sucks.
2. Colds suck.
3. Having a cold while parenting two small children sucks.
4. Knowing that you’re miserable BECAUSE of one of those small children brought it home from school sucks.
5. Being at home by yourself with said children because your spouse is 4 states away partying it up with his best friends sucks.
6. There aren’t enough boxes of Puffs Plus or Nyquil in the WORLD, people.
7. The whole ‘it’s a virus, I can’t really give you anything for it’ answer that doctors give – is crap. This is the year 2012, I ought to be able to jump in my flying car, fly through some kind of magical doorway and come through the other side healthy, and 5 lbs lighter. Or, at the very least there should be a damn shot that kills the stupid little cold virus residing in my sinuses.
8. Getting this sick, less than 30 days into a new job sucks. I keep wondering if all of these people remember me as anything other than ‘the girl hacking up a lung in the cubicle’.
9. The one bright light in all of this? Codine laced cough syrup. Pure gold. Knocks me out like *that {snaps fingers}.
10. Not so great? Taking the magical cough syrup and then being woken up by a 4 YO who is having an awesome case of the runs … in the middle of the night. Someone please shoot me.
Full disclosure – the photos below are from the past TWO weeks … because we’ve all been so miserable I honestly haven’t taken all that many photos. Boo.
I hope everyone had a great Monday – and if you’re on the East Coast, stay safe!
