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.

Woops

I missed a day of NaBloPoMo. After being ditched for wine tasting yesterday by the husband, I was feeling the cabin fever after spending almost 2 straight days of watching TV shows online and not doing much else. Thankfully, while my friend Jessica and her friend James were hanging out at her place being sick, we were all hungry so I went with them for some Chick-Fil-A. We then went to the bar near by and spent a couple of hours watching James cockblock.

I had 1.5 drinks, but I smoked and so I’m quite feeling the decrease in my immunity system right now. Serves me right. I was feeling better and now I’m feeling worse off. I’m primarily suffering from drowsiness1, coughing up phlegm and congestion. At least my throat doesn’t hurt too much as that would make my job that much harder. It sucks to have talking as a predominant part of your job when you’re ill.

On another note, I’m finally figuring out how to improve Gunny’s diet. The husband picked up some Iams since we ran out of her good diet food2 and I noticed she starts whining for food almost immediately after finishing it off. I can ignore her for the most part when I’m awake, but it’s the most infuriating thing when I’m trying to get as much sleep as I can before work or while I feel like poop! I don’t know why I never Googled it before. It seems like such obvious knowledge that I should’ve had a long time ago3. Needless to say, I’m more aware of what she needs in her food and what to stay away from, in regards to the main ingredients. Thankfully I have two cans of the wet good diet food that I can give her in the meantime until I can make my way to Petco for more of the dry stuff.

  1. Most likely due from the Mucinex DM. ↩
  2. I pick up the food from Petco and he just picks up whatever’s advertised as “low fat” or “diet”. ↩
  3. Though, she wasn’t always fat or whiny for food, mind you. ↩
