I should have known the cold weather and being in a confined space of people at work would cause me to come down with something. I started off just feeling soooooo tired and eventually got a stuffy nose and sore throat. Then came the cough. Then came fever. And of course all the lovely mucus set in. I've had to call in to work for two days because I just couldn't get the energy to get out of bed and go. Plus since I had fever, I'm not really allowed to go in and spread it to everyone else.
I had to joke that I can battle cancer just fine, but a cold is gonna bring me down? Ugh.
I hate feeling sick. Not to sound macho or full of myself - I just hate admitting I'm sick enough to be brought down by something and not be able to keep up my tough exterior. I hate admitting I'm weak enough to let something like mucus get in my way. Plus I always tell everyone else to suck it up, so why can't I?
It's really just one of those things that happen every year. Except this year I have less immunity and already have enough healing problems to deal with. And although I finally got my hormone patches back, I'm still on an emotional roller coaster. So combine being sick with raging emotions - that just makes everybody miserable.
I bought some V8 - the fruity kind. Hopefully the vitamin C will help me feel better soon.
