Feeling Human Again

I apologize for disappearing for a few days. After Christmas, my family and I have struggled to fight off colds and flu, and in the last few days, my cold has knocked me straight on my rear end. Last night was the worst. I hardly slept at all with loads of congestion in my head. I had to take 2 sudafeds to feel somewhat better - but even at that, it dried up everything BUT my nose and sinuses. I woke this morning feeling like hell, and wondering if I should even come within feet of my son, but my husband had more to do today that most days, so I had to suck it up. I convinced him to visit the drug store for some DayQuil for me before he went to work. He's a wonder - he did THAT, as well as fed the little man AND bought me breakfast.

I can tell you that DayQuil is my new friend. NyQuil will be my friend tonight. I'm feeling somewhat human again after taking DQ. I was at least able to wash my face and put make up on. I haven't done that for days now, nor have I left the house. I haven't really wanted to, honestly, just feeling so crappy.

Anyway, I think I'm "back." I finished the Secret Life of Bees the other night. Great story. I loved it. I've skimmed Chapter 2 of Purpose Driven Life. I need to go back over it - but honestly I don't think I have much to say about it, so I may combine chapter 2 and 3 in my next post. I will as soon as possible. I'm still not 100% yet, so it may take me another few days to get back on track.

Girl, when I was sick over the week of Christmas, NyQuil and I got to be best friends. Don't do what I did though. I was out of DayQuil and thought, Hmmmm. I need to take something and all I have here is NyQuil. Surely half a dose won't knock me out for too long. Wrong-a-roni! Took it at 9:00 am and slept until 1:00. I woke up, drank some water and was sure someone had slipped me a mickey. I decided to "close my eyes for just a few more minutes". Hey - I felt much better when I woke up at 6 pm. I love NyQuil and I love my bed!
