Maybe I will put on a bra today...doubt it
Day 4 of being sick.
I have been drowning in the muck in my lungs and unable to walk farther than the kitchen to get a hot cup of lemon water. How does that stuff get in there? It makes me thank God that I quit smoking. It makes me pray that maybe, just maybe, I quit early enough that I won't get emphysema when I am old, because not being able to breathe is exhausting. Not being able to walk, go up stairs, sit up, well, it is miserable.
Then there is my nose. I am wondering what is going on in my nose? Is it running to lose weight? It sure seems like it is on some sort of long-distance record breaking cross-country trek. Where does all this stuff come from? How did all that crap get in my head? How can I blow my nose every 15 minutes and it fills back up again?! What the hell?!
And why do my ears itch? It is impossible to itch your ears without making this insanely loud roaring sound with the back of your throat. You must stick both pinky fingers in your ears and make this kkkkkkkhhwwwwhhhhkkkk sound. This sound that you must make, it scares 2 year olds, fyi.
I hate being sick, I know everyone does, but when mom is sick the whole place falls apart. Jim is doing an amazing job but mom is mom, and dad being mom is exhausting to dad, he just isn't built to multitask this way.
My only goal is to be 90% by Monday morning, because then I am alone....with a 2 year old....all day.
Last night I took a hot bath and completely covered myself with Vicks. I couldn't even smell it, Jim said it was so strong he didn't know if he could sleep in the same bed with me...I smelled nothing. I love Vicks. Anytime anyone in my house gets sick, they get Vicks-ed up. I paid my college roommate $20 to get me Vicks one time, Vicks cures all.
Maybe I will put on a bra today and something besides sweats and slippers, doubt it. I got one more day to fix this phlem-filled body, then I gotta be mom again. Oh the glory.
