And So It Goes

There’s nothing like tossing & turning, trying to get to sleep and all the while feeling that strange tickle in your lungs like you need to cough, constantly. I bought soups from Vons, some grapefruit juice and more cold medicine. Oh, and fabric softener because I ran out and need to do a bunch of laundry… eventually. I also need to wash a ton of dishes because I’ve been silently protesting cleaning the apartment. Who am I kidding? I just didn’t fucking feel like it. I still don’t, especially now.

I did manage a win in that Devin cleaned up all the junk mail that had accumulated on the floor and took out the trash. Since it’s a surprise whenever he cleans, I asked him about it and he said that the trash had started stinking, so he took it out. If there’s anything that’ll prompt me to clean, it’s stink. Unfortunately, I can’t smell anything lately, so I didn’t get that inspiration. I told him it was likely all the dirty dishes in the sink that stink, anyway, but I’m sure the trash didn’t help. He did say he’d wash half of the dishes if I did half.

I hate coughing.

Invasion of the Congestion

OH. MY. GOD. My sinuses are killing me. I’m all sorts of itchy around the top area of my face. My nose has gone from random dripping to down-right streaming all the while going from one nostril to the other being stuffed up to some degree. No amount of sneezing is providing relief, nor is blowing my nose, taking decongestants or Benadryl. This has been going on since Monday.

I can’t tell if it’s a cold of sorts or allergies. I’ve never really been an allergy sufferer, so I really don’t know what the difference is. I’m just so tired of the circus going on in my head. I’m actually kind of afraid of taking the antihistamines since the last time I did, I ended up with a fucked up sense of taste, which I found is a possible side-effect.

I have to say one of the worst feelings, though, is when I’m all hyped up for a sneeze and it just … disappears. Talk about a tease! I work tonight. I really hope this shit doesn’t keep me down all night…
