tired of being sick

maybe it was going over the border. maybe it was freezing in the cold for 40 minutes while we waited for the doors to open. or maybe it was just our germy offices finally catching up to us.

the husband and i spent wednesday and thursday at home sick. he was smart: he slept all day wednesday, then watched tv on thursday. i was a stupid martyr and answered email, took conference calls, wrote copy and played peacekeeper. needless to say, my illness is lingering when his is gone.

my symptoms started out as scratchy throat and chest congestion then became chills/fever, sore throat, cough and runny nose. went to work on friday -- seemed to be ok -- then spent the whole weekend lounging around the house.

at this point i am just stuffy. but i'm sick of blowing my nose. my nose is tired of being blown too -- it is red, chapped and sore. too bad i can't just climb under my desk and have a little nap.
