but I guess I "lucked out" with the sick-card this time - sort of?
I also admit that I'm one of those that unless I'm nausea-inducing-dizzy sick or v-word sick, I'll just push on through it - if not work even harder in the hopes it'll distract me from being ill.
yeh, I've been feelin' illish of late - nigh everyone in the office has been ill, though most sick in quite different ways
since the 23rd I've been deaf in my left ear and fairly energy-deficient ... though now I can hear extremely high or low tones in muffled fashion, so maybe it's slowly clearing up?
since the 31st I've had constant head pressure ... feeling inflated and "stuffy" with an intense headache that gets more annoying with particular noises
since the 31st I've had body pain ... as if someone is standing on my chest and beating my joints - every joint - with a bat (sometimes whiffle bat, sometimes steel baseball bat)
since the 2nd I've been coughing and my throat is sore
BUT... I've kept working my ass off, beginning of the month is the busiest part of my work month and I kept at it
...which is funny, since so many office personnel were off one or two days this week or left early, leaving only a few of us die-hards who stayed entire days the entire week
( and of course the "oh pity me" office personnel who couldn't come in for most of the week because their "head hurt so bad" - *coughs*suck it up, you're not the only one*coughs* )
ANYways, as much as I hate taking meds or anything, after work yesterday I did pick up Sudafed (the 24hr stuff, so I wouldn't have to take it often), lozenges, and daily immune system thingies.
so far, so good... so the same. the Sudafed reduced the infalted/"stuffy" feeling a bit - and the headache somewhat - but that's about it.
...of course, I have my "other issues" when I'm feeling ill - my libido and appetites skyrocket... of course, I keep myself controlled at work, but afterwork it's all I can do to just keep my mind from travelling "that" direction.
thank the gods when I was out-and-about the couple times that no one was wearing lavender - the scent drives my libido into overdrive enough as it is... couple it with ill-libido and I'm a basketcase stalker sniffing after the lovelies like a hound.
AND...
I have my beautiful spawnlings this weekend, but if I can handle a workweek of whiners and coughers and disease-ridden co-workers, I can handle my daughters...
just hoping they haven't been sick - they tend to get V-word sick... and this fathre is NOT good with the V-word
( it took years to get them to rush to the bathroom toilet when they feel v-word sicky while daddy worries about them from the doorway - daddy gets v-word sick when others are v-wording and it's not pretty *ugh* )
*crossing fingers* here's hoping for my usual energetic beasties (who only get sick on mothre-time - sorry, but it's how I feel, bad me! )
and, no, I won't have to worry about my ill-libido when my girls are here - I go into "Fathre-mode" when I have them and that's no concern in the least.
All in all, hope everyone else's week has been healthy and going well...
the ill will pass in good time - it always does - and hopefully along with it I'll regain my hearing and not have to re-sell what remains of my soul and go to UC.
Farethee well for now!
week's worth of twits ::
3/28 :
ok, amazon, don't know who told you I'd be the least bit interested in Roseanne, Full House, or Seinfeld, but they lied - BOY did they lie!
3/28 II :
shaved early this morn and SHOULD be doing my extensive laundry, but I think shaving sapped my "feel like it" energies for the day :( meh.
3/28 III :
leave it to a couple of my equally geeky friends to remind/inform me that in 11 weeks I'll be visiting the future home of Starfleet Academy
3/28 IV :
suuuure, if *I* just showed up in nothing but a mini-skirt and a trenchcoat, I'd have the door slammed in my face and the cops called... BUT if some lovely does it, they're given pretty much anything they desire!
*snifs* oh the humanity :(
3/28 V :
friend: "do you have any idea how hard it is to get out of wet leather?"
"if you lived anywhere close, I might be willing to help"
"tease!"
3/29 :
having a tiny li'l soul-patch of crotchfuzz does NOT mean you're bush is 'hirsute' level... reach '80s Demi Moore-level bush, THEN yes...!
4/1 :
off-and-on dream of RP'ing with Joss Whedon and random/changing actors that included such mythical items as the Toilet Lid Of Thunder
