The day from hell and beyond...

So, let's see how my week went, shall we? Everyone was sick at some point. I spent the good part of Tues in the bed either sweating or shaking with the chills. I was so sick. I spent Wed feeling like crap, but I worked - I was supposed to go to a client, but I just couldn't so I postponed a day. So, I went on Thursday...

Thursday. Oh, Thursday. It was the best day EVER - NOT. It started with me on the side of Interstate 35 with a flat tire, being late for an appointment, still sick as a dog, and ended with $700 at the tire place cuz we needed 4 new tires and an alignment. I actually have a long tirade about customer service (mostly good), but I'll post that on my biz blog later.

Yeah.

I was sick on Friday. Oh, and I'm still sick today. All that crap has moved up into my head and sinus cavities. I'm absolutely dying. I'm taking a decongestant and some headache meds and it's helping. I am pretty desperate though and made Tom go get me something called a neti pot. It's this little pot with a long spout, you stick it up your nose and water comes out the other nostril. It "cleans" your sinus out. Whatever. I can breathe better, but I got salt water in the back of my throat while trying to figure it out. It did work okay though. I can breathe better. It was freaking weird though.

Anyway. I'm still sick, feeling better though.

Tom bought the kids rakes because they told him to. I told him to buy KID sized rakes. Do THESE look kid sized to you? I keep waiting for someone to get hurt out there. They say they are gonna rake all the leaves in a pile so they can jump in them.... ummmm... okay.

kids raking

At least the kids seem to be all better - save the leftover cough.

Glad you're a wee bit better. I used to love to rake leaves as a kid - we always had to borrow some from the neighbors to make big enough piles to jump in, though.

Oh Candy - I'm sorry you're feeling so crappy. I gotta tell ya - the neti pot - sounds disgusting. But if it helps - more power to ya!!!! {{{HUGS}}}
Ok, I'm not laughing, I'm really not, but if they kids jump in what leave are there, you're gonna have some injuries!!!! ;) Too cute!

What meds are you taking....you have to get the decongestion sold behind the counter. That oTC crap doesn't work on me. I also combine a swig of Benadryl of the stuffiness does not clear or if it feels like my throat is closing up. Aint livin' here in allergy central grand?
