Bwah

And no, I didn't spell that wrong. Just a form of saying blah. I've been sick now for over a week. Stupid weather and being around too many different germs. Actually, it hit my chest which is why I'm having trouble getting rid of it. I rested all last weekend but went to school on Monday and Tuesday even though I sounded like a frog. I did go to the doctor's on Tuesday between classes. Gaye gave me an antibiotic to take only if I didn't get better through taking Mucinex D. Well, I haven't filled the script yet cause the sinus stuff is better. . .it's just lingering. My right ear is clogged now. (sigh) The damn cold keeps changing what it's doing to me.

I actually canceled classes on Wednesday and Thursday if that gives you an idea of how I felt. I ended up with the most horrendous sinus headache on Wednesday. Or as I said to the students online, it felt like my eyeballs wanted to melt from my skull. Plus, I could barely talk. Fortunately, the daytime Thursday people already had off as part of a deal for getting a two day assignment done in one day. But I though I would be able to go in the evening cause I was feeling a little better. Right. Only when I didn't move. I went out for the mail and the cold air hit my lungs and they wanted to jump out of my chest. Real hard to listen to stuff when you're trying not to hack up a lung. So, that one was canceled too.

Since then I have been pretty much home. I went out briefly on Friday to go to the store and yesterday Michael took me for some Mexican since he figured that I could taste. lol But today is all home stuff. Right now I'm writing this to you as a break from reading some of my dissertation work. Yes, you read that right. I got behind again because of the damn cold. But am making a point of reading something today even though my head feels swimmy. No excuse not to read. Besides, I'm simply refreshing myself on stuff I read eons ago so I figure that won't be a problem.

Ok, enough babbling. Time to get back to work. Hope all of you are feeling well. Michael opened up the windows to let some fresh air in since it's like 75 degrees outside. Maybe that will help. Hope you all get some nice weather soon too. Hugs.
