I am sick, kids. It's a cold but not the kind a bowl of soup and good night's sleep will seem to fix. I'm going on day 4 now, hoping this thing will wear itself out. I turned in last night, about 2 hours earlier than I normally do, with a cough drop and Tylenol PM (that stuff knocks me out). I woke up this morning feeling like someone punched me in the back of the head.
I try to figure out where this came from...a friend at work that has been ill, closing the shop with her Wednesday, the tingling feeling in my sinuses that night...oh crap, the two of us sharing a box of Cheez-its on Monday. My bad.
I am crossing fingers that this Excederin goes to battle with the head pressure and the alternating sudafed dries up some of the gross stuff. Hopefully I can still enjoy (a little bit of) the Super Bowl Sunday snack party my friend has been planning for weeks.
Nathan is sweetly doting on me. Bringing me things, tucking me in at night, decidedly ignoring the heap of used tissues I build up around me wherever I am. He's doing a good job. Whenever I am sick, I still feel like a little kid waiting for Mom to fix me with home cures. The kind of magic moms only dispel.
Off I go to work now. Let's pray it's not Lupus.

Thank you, Nathan, for doting on my sick little one. I wish I was there to do a witch-doctor healing dance around you (I would do it, you know) Be well...
Love, MOM
i'm not so good at soup but seem to have a handle on headaches.. wishing i was close enough to help. drink lots of liquids and stay away from starches... starve a cold and feed a fever...
