my world. my word.

i caught something from my coworker on nov.22.  i could just tell my body was different and i wasnt feeling well.  as soon as i got home i took medicine so that i could kill it before anything happened.  i rarely get sick, and if i do, i usually only get sick once a year.  i guess it was my time.

i thought it was only going to last a day or two since i took medicine right away but i was soo wrong.  it started out with me just not feeling well for a few days.  i could tell because my throat always felt dry.  slowly, i started losing my voice.  i had to work black friday, and unfortunately, out of all days, this is when my voice decides to go out.  i was literally almost whispering to customers.  when i tried to talk, my voice would squeak and go out randomly.  by mid day, i had no voice whatsoever.  i was surprised they wouldnt let me go home.  it wasnt even that busy.  bitches.  (jk) =P

throughout the next few days/weeks my sickness turned into a cold, sniffling nose and all, then it turned into a really nasty cough.  a cough that sounded like i had been smoking 5 packs a day since i was born.  my poor neighbors probably woke up many times from my cough attacks during the night.  i felt so bad for jake, too, waking him up every now and then.  now, three weeks later, it hasnt completely gone away yet.  i still have some random cough attacks but it doesnt sound as bad as before.  now it just gets ne to the point where i lose my breath by the end of it.  i only get it a few times a day though.  i really hope it goes away soon.

now jake has gotten sick.  he came down with something different from what i had.  poor guy.  he was gone all night yesterday while robin and i were having our cooking session.  he was a good sport though.  he didnt complain and wasnt forcing us to go home right away.  thanks, bubba.  i really hope you get better soon.  i hate seeing him drowsy and out of it.

we’ve done everthing.  we take medicine regularly, drink fluids,  dress warmly, drink/eat soup many days of the week, drinking hot tea.  this bug sucks…whatever it is that we got.  grr. i just want us both to go back to normal.
