Cough, Hack

  • Eat very poorly……..check
  • Very little exercise……….check
  • Feel like crap………..check

As you can see, I have all the makings of a fairly significant gain this week.  I can’t find it within myself to care too too much right now, though.  As I was telling Ron earlier, I don’t think that I’ve done much other than sleep, cough, and eat this weekend.

I sometimes feel better, and then I don’t anymore.  My cold is in no way as bad as ones that I’ve had before, but I am exhausted, my throat is still scratchy, my nose is still runny, and I’m still coughing.  Luckily, I haven’t reached the hacking up a lung stage yet (if at all, please God).

I should be grateful that I’ve gotten this over the weekend so that I don’t have to miss more work, but I told my mom that it feels like a horrible waste of a weekend.  :)   Whoever would have thought that I’d be upset that I have to lay around instead of going hiking?  Not I!  I did leave work a couple of hours early on Friday because I was feeling so rotten, but I’m really hoping that I’ll be better by tomorrow afternoon.  I haven’t left my house at all this weekend.  I haven’t even gotten dressed once!

I’m still popping the Zicam and Tylenol Cough and Sore Throat liquid, and I think that the combination is what has kept this cold from getting as bad as it could have gotten.

Now I’m off to rest a bit more before The Amazing Race starts.  Anyone else going to watch it?  I’ll also probably watch some of the Oscars later, and I need to catch up on Heroes at some point, too!

Hope everyone had a happy (and healthy) weekend!

    Awwww, feel better soon.

    I hate being sick, but I confess to loving the staying in jammies part of it.

    Have you thought at all about a long, hot bath? That helps me a lot.

    Sorry Pamela. Getting a cold is the worst. Everyone always says, oh, I just have a cold. There’s no “just having a cold”. I always feel like I’m going to die. They’re just miserable.

    Take care of yourself. Get better soon!

    Hi Pamela, damn sorry to hear it’s getting worse!! I just wanted to thank you again for you post on the “Honeymoon” phase. I read it all the time and I think it’s already given me a better, more relaxe outlook on things. I still love mu WW meeting, and I’m glad I’m making a more steady improvement….but most of all I’m doing things the way I know I can keep doing. I owe a lot to that post of yours and wanted to be sure and thank you again. Now, get WELL and get WALKING…lol.

    Thank you, everybody, for the kind get well wishes! Hopefully they will pass from your lips (or fingers) to God’s ears!

    Perry, you’re so welcome, but thank YOU for your kind comments! I’m glad that it has been of some help. I think I need to go back and re-read it myself!

    hmmm. it seems that a lot of us in bloggerland are sick right now. I blame Carlos. and his children. They seem to be the epicenter of this.
