It stinks being sick, especially on our Anniversary!

Well, I done gone got sick. I thought I had fought it off... but after hubby got sick last week, I knew I was doomed.

I had been sleeping plenty (about 10 to 12 hours a night) for the past week or so... & Thursday (was it then?) I thought I had licked whatever it was that was making me feel so icky.

But like I said, hubby got sick with a nasty cold (maybe the flu) last Sunday. With his asthma, I wish he would have taken a day off & gone to the doctors. But NOOOO he worked all week & then on Thursday he rode his Harley to work & then after went to go look at a prospective new (use) truck... & then to Praise Band practice & home around 9p.m. (by then it was quite chilly.) ... I thought for sure with all that riding in the cold as he does (nothing around his mouth) he would have ended up in the hospital on Friday.

Well, no... he actually started to feel better. I started feeling worse. & Yesterday it began to hit me. Last night was a rough night. I took my Ambien at midnight & usually I'm sound asleep within an hour... Come 6:00a.m. I am still awake & now breathing through my mouth, which I totally despise.

Anyway, I then took some Nighttime Theraflu.... At least I got some sleep not as much as I had... Still breathing through my mouth, made it even a worse time to sleep. I kept waking up.

The only good thing is, I've not had a fever yet. When I do... I'll be knocked out on my feet. Since I have a low body temp (lower than average)... a low grade fever is not good for me.

Sorry to do a blog just on being sick... but I wanted to let you all know what was going on.... even though I am still not sure if it's a cold or the flu.

With both of us being sick & hubby going to pick up the truck... we didn't do a thing for our 12th anniversary last night.... but that's fine by me... for now. I just hope that we can go out for a nice dinner when we are both feeling better.

So, that's the update for now... & this is for my contacts only!

(btw... the only reason I'm up now & working on the computer, is because I had some Fantasy Football stuff to work out... If you play it... you'll know how it is! LOL)

*Waving* ... Going to sign off in just a few minutes. For those who have my cell #... feel free to send me a text.

  3. Hope you're better soon. If you were round here I'd make you some chicken soup... Get some rest, drink lots - but I'm sure you know the drill :-)
