Sick.

It's been a while since I was sick.  It's always the worst, because I can never remember how bad it was the previous time.

Normal virus stuff: cough, congestion, ear ache, muscle ache, etc.  No fever.  I went to the doctor to make sure, and to get a note for work.  And, as I'd suspected, it's a virus.  No meds, just continue to treat the symptoms.

It's better to be sick when you don't have a kid.  You get to skip work, and sleep or watch junk tv all day.  But when you have a kid, you don't get as much sleep, and you have to watch cartoons all day.  Plus, you then feel like a crappy parent.  I'm lucky enough that Aaron's folks are two houses down, and they like having Bertie over (and he likes going over).  So there is some respite.

But the house is exploded, which makes me stressed, which increases healing time. Blah blah blah.  I just feel crappy.

I really only want to drink. Alternate between hot and cold.  Hot chocolate, then ice water, tea, then juice, soup, then diet coke.  Although, the diet coke wasn't really too appealing (I really must be sick!) other than the fact that it was cold, and not water (because you tired of water, after a while).

Actually I really wanted Jamba Juice, a Slurpee or boba tea today.  I didn't get any of those.  Maybe tomorrow.

I called in sick from work tonight.  And my note is for tomorrow as well, but maybe (hopefully) I'll feel better.

I had to sleep at an incline last night (or my throat hurt a lot).  I think I have 6 pillows on my side of the bed right now.  It's pretty ridiculous.

Rebecca is my favourite.  She ordered me pho from doordash for lunch today.  I love that my sister 3000 miles away, can order (and pay for) Vietnamese food, and have it at my door in under an hour.  What a wonderful future we live in.

Blah.

Lately I've been feeling blah.  Maybe it's depression, or maybe just crohns.  I'm tired.

And now that I've written two sentences, I can't think of anything else to say.  I felt like I had a lot I needed to write about, but it's all flown out of my head.

Anyway, I'm alive.  Plugging along.
