Sick kid

Today, Jim stayed home in the morning to take Reagan to the doctor. Unfortunately, Reagan was just sick enough that he asked us to keep her out of school for 48 hours. UGH! So I left work around lunch time to take the second half of the day. She was very clingy but fortunately took a nap for me. She didn't have the flu, just some nasty cough/cold that she was not able to kick on her own. I'm hoping that she'll get rid of her fever by the morning so she can go back to school on Thursday.

I actually stayed home again

The last two days I've been sick. not just kinda sick - but shaky, sweaty sick. Ick. I had an allergy attack over the weekend that just "landed" in my head. I sounded like a frog on Monday all day. Monday night, I actually lost my voice completely (jim loved that).

Yesterday, I was miserable all day. I woke up from a nap about 3pm and thought I better run over to Urgent Care to make sure I'm not really sick. The doc said it was all allergy, but to take this hopped up cold syrup that will "make me feel all better"... wow did it. But he also gave me a Z-pack just in case I got worse.

This morning, I was 100% worse. I got up, got ready and was standing at the mirror putting on makeup when I realized I was sweating and shaking... not a good combo for going to work. I actually got back into bed with my clothes on because I didn't know what else to do. Then, I actually crawled out to my computer to tell work that I was home another day. Ugh.

Needless to say, I struggled all day. I had a headache, sinus pressure, nausea on top of the nasty ongoing cough blah blah blah. Ugh! I couldn't figure out why I kept waking up with a nasty headache until I looked up the ingredients in the cough syrup they gave me. Hmmmm - "addictive properties" is what one site said. GEEEEZ that's all I need. So I quickly said no more of that and dropped it in the garbage.

So tonight, I just took a sudafed and a zyrtec and seriously hope I don't wake myself up coughing. Hmmmm.
