I blame the flight back from BlogHer.
Yesterday while at work, I got the old familiar, yet despised, feeling.
A tickly throat.
Sometimes the tickly throat means I have just been talking too much (which I have been known to do), but most of the time it is the ominous sign that I am getting sick.
On the flight back to Atlanta on Tuesday morning, there was a man sitting 1 row ahead of me hacking his lungs out and blowing his nose the whole time. When I heard him, I thought “crap, I am gonna get that!”
Yeah, I think I was right.
By the end of the day yesterday, my top teeth on the let hand side were aching and my left nostril was full. Also- my head was throbbing and I felt all loopy.
When I got home, all I wanted to do was sleep – so I did. At about 10, I woke up and, yeah, I felt like poopy-caca.
I looked high and low for something to take to help me sleep, but nothing.
I texted my 2 friends to tell them that the unpacking party we had planned for Saturday was a no-go since I didn’t want them to get sick.
At 11:30pm I went online and found a 24 hour Walgreens (not CVS like I Twittered about – blame it on the a-aa-aaa-ca-hol loopiness ) and grabbed 4 bottled of water (the cat spills glasses), 2 16 oz Diet 7-ups and both regular and Sudafed PM.
By 1:30 am I was sawing logs (loudly I am sure, sorry to my neighbors for my sickly snoring) and loving Sudafed PM.
I had a great night’s sleep. I usually wake up 2 or 3 times a night. But I didn’t.
Then, hearing the birds chirp and feeling the warmth of the sun on my skin, I woke up.
AT 12:30PM.
AS IN AFTERNOON.
P.M.
Holly sh*t, I haven’t slept this late since, well, forever. I must really feel like crap. I don’t remember any dreams or anything.
I spent today (Saturday) in bed watching bad TV and trying to sleep. But I forgot I bought the Sudafed Daytime, so I didn’t take it.
About 6pm, I remembered I bought the Day meds, so i opened the package, and found this…OK, well, my email/phone camera are not working, but imagine you are seeing a blister pack with 6 out of the 8 pills popped out. They are still in the box, but they are open.
Soooooo, that means I will be taking a trip back to Walgreens in the near future. thank goodness the PM version is OK.
I still feel like crap tonight, but hope tomorrow I will be feeling good enough to do a few reviews of some of the stuff I got at BlogHer. I tried the Skin Free sample today, and would really like to write up a proper review (sneak peek: the products are awesome so far!) I would also like to link to more of the WONDERFUL people I met at the conference.
But for now, I am going to curl up with TiVo’ed Ellen DeGeneres standup, and a bottle of water.
Hopefully I will be able to lose this runny nose and sore throat soon… cuz it will be the first thing I will be able to “lose” in my new blog idea!
