The Common Cold … wait, it’s not-so-common
I am sick.
Three very important and scary words for me. I hate hate hate being sick!
This time they’re actually not so scary because it’s still just the common cold, but still, damnit, I’m sick.
edited to add … I have discovered white patches on my throat/tonsils … not the common cold
For a week now I’ve been feeling a scratchy throat and the on Friday it progressed. I woke up stuffed up and antsy but still tired and still kept my plans with my friend Miss Bean. She and I were supposed to have a late lunch date and then go see Across the Universe but I showed up at the house and Miss Bean was buried under fourteen-thousand blankets and two pillows. I let myself into her house and she hardly turned over before literally groaning “hello” at me. Miss Bean was sick, and I stayed at her house with her anyway.
We did have our lunch date (mmm, noodles & cheese and tomatoes!) and then we decided to head towards our movie. We didn’t quite make it to the movie. I took Miss Bean into Ross and she went crazy! The girl only shops two or three times a year, and while I love to shop, Miss Bean wore me out! She spent $200 and she seriously got half of a new wardrobe! She is such a bargain shopper, I tell ya.
Anyway, we didn’t go to the movie because she was so into shopping and we eventually made it home where we finished our leftovers and cleaned a bit of Miss Bean’s room. I pushed myself much too far and am paying for it now.
I sounded like a man this morning in church. I bet that was attractive.
I have drank enough tea today I could float away.
I am allergic to cough medication so I just hold one hand on the top of my head and the other over my mouth. (I hold my head because my sinuses have started aching.) I look silly when I’m sick.
Thanks for letting me complain. My mental & emotional health is better now. If only complaining fixed my physical health though!
mental & emotional health, physical health, common cold, don’t feel well, sneezing, coughing, malaise

Oh, dear. I’m sorry to hear you’re feeling so miserable. I hope you have plenty of time to rest when you’re not in class tomorrow.
