Dreamflower's Mathom-house

In fact, I went to the doctor today. It's flu (had the swab; I hate things stuck up my nose) and she said there's congestion in my lower lungs bordering on pneumonia. Eep.

I am off work and grounded until the 23rd, which will interfere dreadfully with last minute Christmas stuff, and of course it's just as well we had not bought our tickets for The Hobbit:BO5A, because I could not have gone.

I'm hacking, coughing and wheezing and sore. I've spent three days in my recliner with the cat mainlining BtVS (up to the end of Season 6. What an intense season!) I can start Season 7 tomorrow, which I've never seen before. (And I'd also missed several episodes of 6, too, but now I've seen them.)

I am very much hoping I will feel like puttering around the house a little, or at least have enough focus to do a little needlework or something. I also need to get more done on my Yule exchange fic. I've got quite a lot plotted out in my head--just need to type it out and add it to what I already have.)

Anyhow, I've been a little sporadic in my comments, so I guess you will know why now.

So, here are my notes from yesterday:

7AM: The DH is sick. He was hacking and coughing most of the night, poor baby. We ended up sleeping a little later because of that. But with a cat and a dog in the house, we can't sleep too late; animals have to be fed, and the dog has to go out. So we get up. I make him sit back in his recliner, and he decides he'd better go ahead and call in to work for tomorrow. I bugged him all last week to call in and go see the doctor, but he wouldn't do it--now that it's gotten worse, he finally listens! ( Read more... )

Sick! I had to come home from work when my shift was less than half over; the DH was very nice and did not say "I told you so" when he came to pick me up. He'd told me to call in this morning.

Unpleasant sicky TMI under the cut: ( Read more... )

Woke myself up sneezing at 2AM. Not an allergy type sneeze, either. This morning I am stuffed up and achy and my head feels about twice its normal size. Not a day for doing a lot I'm afraid.

I had my "loading dose" of antibiotic last night, but am not feeling noticeably better. On the other hand, I'm feeling no *worse* than I was.

I hope I will feel better tomorrow, as I am supposed to go back to work.

In other news, I finished my February Challenge fic, a POV gapfiller. And I have done some more of my "backstory" stuff. I may make another post about that later.

I spent all day resting and playing on the computer, and hoped I'd feel up to going to work tomorrow.

But I still feel pretty crappy. I think I'm feeling better until I actually try to *do* something. I made a very simple supper tonight (creamed tuna on toast), and felt as weak as if I had been running for hours. My ears are still ringing, and if I get up too suddenly, I feel very light-headed.

But at least my voice is a bit less raspy.

The downside to all this is, I will have to go to the doctor tomorrow. (Required by job if off work two days or more.) *sigh* That will be quite a ding in the wallet.
