“Ugh,” says ugh.

I’m trying to write this post, and I end up with an attack of sneezing. I hate it, as the sneezes are usually quite violent, and it hurts that spot in my back that gives me trouble from time to time. Not to mention the sinus attack that follows, so I end up snivelling and snorting. I hate my sinuses.
It also doesn’t help that I’m feeling generally crappy today. I’ve got a persistent headache that I woke up with (what a glorious start to the day), and my stomach is giving me trouble (and that woke me up at 01.30 this morning).
I’m thinking of packing it in and going home… Maybe with a stop at the doc on the way.
Sick Schtick

There’s nothing worse than having a stomach bug. Sinus complaints I bear well, since I almost always have some form of related illness, but I just can’t handle having stomach problems. Thankfully I’ve managed to avoid the upchuck reflex, but it was close for awhile there last night. — Vomiting has to be the worst feeling in the world. I can’t speak from a woman’s perspective with child birth and all, so bear with me.
I was about to walk out the door this morning to go to work – I had a scheduled change to do – but as I opened the front door, a wave of nausea hit me, and I changed my mind. Good thing I did. I instead spent most of the day sleeping or reading my book. The change I had to do can wait till I get back to work, which will probably be tomorrow anyway.

It was me birfday yesterday. 29 years old. Shared it with a sore throat, how exciting.
I’m finding that the more birthdays I have, the less I care about them. I remember when I was little(r), I used to look forward to my birthday coming around, mainly for all the presents, I guess.
I look forward to my kids’ birthdays instead. Then I can play with their toys, heehee.
Still sick (in the head)

God, I don’t know how anyone can function even semi-normally when you feel like this.
I’ve had a headache that just won’t quit since (I think) yesterday morning. At the moment it feels like I’ve had it forever. It’s one of those bastards that sits there dormant, until you do something silly, like breathe. Then it wakes up and slashes you across the top of your head with extremely sharp claws that leave scores that ache away into stillness.
And it happens in your sleep, too. You end up dreaming about this large purple dinosaur that does this “I love you” dance on top of your head…and every time his foot connects with the top of your skull, you feel it way down in your soul.
And for those of you who think I’m possibly a furry fetishist, I’m not, okay? I have two young kids, so sue me.
Sick as a dog

Yeah, that’s me.
Caught a nasty throat infection from my daughter… and just as I finished the round of doctor prescribed antibiotics, another bout of bugs caught up with me. Sheesh, I can’t win, I tell ya.
Been feeling horribly ill since Friday, took the day off today, went to see the doc, and now he’s booked me off til’ Thursday. Fun fun.
It’s funny though, he always writes it up as ’sinusitus’, no matter how bad I happen to feel. 
Oh well, gotta blame SOMETHING I guess.
I can only hope that a different climate will sort my sinus troubles out.
