I. Am. Sick.
It started as a deep chest tight-feeling and a crazy sore throat Monday night. I stayed home from work on Tuesday, calling the doctor as I had a dry non-produtive cough. The nurse said it might be the beginning of bronchitis and to drink lots of fluids and call Monday if it was still a dry unproductive cough.
I lubbed up with Mentholatum Ointment, using what all I had left in the jar (I think it works OOOOO much better than Vicks) and drank my weight in OJ and water, then headed to bed.
The next morning, I felt a bit better (lest chest congestion) and went to work – about noon, I felt like crap. I went to Walgreen’s and bought throat drops, Vicks and
Thursday, I went to Thanksgiving at a friends house, and about 3pm again felt like crap – this time both head and chest – thought the stuff I was blowing from my nose was clear. We went to bed early so we could get up at 3:30am and SHOP!!
Friday, we shopped at Kohl’s and Target and were done at 8am (only have 5 more gifts to get!!). I took a 2 hour nap (feeling again like crap) and then when I got home at 5ish, I slept through the night. With Vicks.
This morning, the chest congestion is back, and I am blowing thick green stuff (sorry) from my nose. I guess I am glad that the crap from my head is coming out, but I am concerned that I still feel a tight chest (though not as tight as it was Tuesday.
I am just really ready to be feeling better. 2 reasons why I am sick-
1. I have been eating crap and I always feel like crap when I eat like crap.
2. I have been stressed doing my regular job and my new job at the same time. Everytime I get stressed out, I get sick.
I need to take it easy and de-stress. I think I am going to do some yoga today and sleep and relax.
Hope you are healthy and feeling good!
