Whack!

So much for fighting off the crud. My simple cough/sinus illness has evolved into a full-blown immune system meltdown. I can't breathe. I'm coughing. I've had a fever of 101 (that won't go down with the combined taking of Aleve and Tylenol. Given the way my sinuses feel, it's got to be another sinus infection. Sheesh.

And the earliest I can see my doc is tomorrow morning. Great. Even their walk-in clinic is hosed up on wait time. Here I go trying to be all responsible and knock this out quick with a doc visit, and I can't even do that without venturing away from an insured doctor.

Fortunately, Stacey has extra antibiotics laying around that I will take as soon as she gets home.

Just when I thought this cold season couldn't get any worse, this happens. I absolutely cannot believe how much we've had to face this kind of crud this year. 4 times since November. And bigger and badder than any previous year.

On the bright side (and a very serious 'knock on wood'), Kailyn and Zachary's symptoms have paled in comparison to Stacey's and mine. Here's hoping this crud will be gone by this weekend.

So, needless to say, I feel 100% useless today. Only now have I even been cognizant enough to even bother to sit down at the PC and do anything.

This fever's given me the chills, too. For the first time today, however, I feel hot all bundled up in sweatpants and a sweatshirt. Usually that's a good sign my fever is trying to break.

Oh, well. Better today than Saturday night.
