Last week Mr P came home with the sniffles. Now usually when he gets a cold I barely give it any thought because where colds and flu are concerned I am strong as an ox and tend not to catch anything more than a sore throat. Ha! My body betrayed me. It started with that bunged up feeling that we all know so well. You don't necessarily feel sick but you don't feel well either, I like to call this feeling ugh! I figured with my ox like tendencies that would be as bad as it got. No such luck. Over the next few days my symptoms increased.
Last night I figure was that wonderful day when it peaks and you know that it is onward and upward from there. As I was snuggled up on the day bed with my book, surrounded by sheets of menthol easy breathers, a hot mug of tea and my book I felt content for the most part. Yes my head was banging like I had a team of Riverdance in there and my stomach had that weird feeling where you can't quite decide if you are going to be sick or are actually hungry but I figured that I was nearly over the worst. Wrong. I had the pleasure of waking up this morning to the same symptoms as last night as well as finding my glands swollen to a painful level. Hence I returned to my place upon the day bed for another pity party.
To be honest it is probably the safest place for me to be. While I was sending Mr P off to work this morning at 6am I stood on the cat, burnt his bagel (Mr P's not the cats), lost my phone because I made the bed and it somehow got mixed in with the sheets, and scolded Mr P while he was in the shower because i was so preoccupied with the above mentioned bagel that I'd forgotten not to use the taps in the kitchen until he was out of the shower (that is until the screams of pain). So overall I do think that it is probably safer that I stay away from any machinery, cooking gadgets or living things until the day is over. I am honestly a danger to oneself. Mr P doesn't know how lucky he was to get out, sadly the poor cat has no choice but to take his chances although at this point he looks to be taking it all in his stride.
We've all had days like this right? Nope? Probably just me then.
