The flu has been going around but luckily Byron and I have not had the flu but just a really bad cold! The weather has been crazy in Texas these past several weeks and I guess our bodies got fed up with it and decided to throw a revolt!
My cold did not really hit me hard till Thursday about lunch time. Byron and I car pool so I called him to see if he could come pick me up and take me home... this is at like 11-11:30ish. He says he had a meeting at 1:30 and wanted to know if he could come get me after. I told him I was really ready to go home now. But it takes us about 45 minutes to an hour to get home... so for him to be able to take me home and get back in time for his meeting was not an option. So Byron thought to call a friend who works in a building close to him and lives not too far away to see if he would take Byron home from work at the end of the day. I am very thankful that our friend said yes! Byron was able to come and pick me up, but I had to take him back to work and myself home.
On my way home I stopped by the store to buy me some Dayquil, Nyquil, vitamin C, soup and OJ.
I got home, took care of the puppies, took some Nyquil and got in bed to get some much needed rest. But the puppies had other plans. They were trying to decide who got to lay closets to mommy and which position is the most comfortable... for about 20 minutes. They finally settled down and I laid in bed... AWAKE... for another 45 minutes and finally thought screw it. I get up... make a list... and go back to the store for ingredients to make my favorite soup. . Chicken Avocado Soup...
... and some Tylenol PM.When I got home I made the yummy, delicious soup and Byron and I ate dinner together. Then I took my newly purchased Tylenol PM and went to bed for the night at like 8:00ish.
I woke up Friday morning at 5ish to go to work and decided I didn't feel good enough to go to work yet. So I emailed work and said I wasn't coming in that morning but if I felt better after more sleep I would be in around lunch. Let's just say.... I didn't make it in by lunch. I rolled back over at 5ish and slept till 9ish when I decided I would finally get up to feed the puppies and then let them outside to potty. Well I didn't let them back in from pottying until like 12ish. I need as much uninterrupted sleep as possible where I could move around and stretch out my legs... and I knew that would be too hard to accomplish with 4 dogs wanting to cuddle with mommy. So they got lots of outdoor time so mommy could actually get some sleep time!
Monday I was going to go to the doctor after work... because
I thought I might need an antibiotic to beat this thing. But, I ended up not
going. I actually felt a little better by the end on Monday and just figured by
body needed rest and time to kick it. Today is Wednesday, I am still not
well... but I am better. I feel by this coming Monday I should be feeling back
to my old self. :) I am so ready for that. I feel like from my laziness
(needing to sleep more to kick this) and eating heartier food (mainly grilled
cheese and tomato soup and OJ) I have gained a wee bit of wait! :( So I am
ready to feel good enough so I can exercise and get this weight off!!
Are you one of those I have a sniffle... let me go to the
doctor... or I am good.... and only go to the doctor when you feel it is
absolutely necessary??
Just an FYI... my post will probably not always be in chronological
order. I plan to catch up on this past while I post things current as well...
so that I do not continue to stay behind!!
Till next time!!
Hope you feel better soon!!! :)
