alenxa_classic1. Came down with evilnastybad sore throat on the 10th-11th. Broke out in rash like the one from the July 4 epizudic on Sunday night (11th) and treated same as previously directed. Rash spread to areas previously unaffected and sore throat continued unabated through the 13th. Visited doctor on the 14th at which time sore throat magically resolved into mild cough and tooth-aching left-sided sinus pressure. Diagnosed with This Season's Virus and sent home.
2. Coughing fits began the night of the 14th. The kind that wake you up from NyQuil sleep and make it impossible to catch a breath. Abs began to hurt inside 24 hours. Throat muscles followed the day after.
3. Left eye began to water and redden on the 15th. Woke up with eye glued shut on the 16th and visited doctor. Vitals taken by same nurse from 14th. Diagnosed with backup of congestion and viral spread into left eye and ear, prescribed OTC nasal spray. Hate nasal spray. Took DayQuil. K and I are now competing for meds. My pillow is now toxic. Hands not yet chapped from excessive washing.
4. B5 viewing set for 6 pm Friday 16th.
5:05 - supervisor brings by pile of documents and stays for job-related chat.
5:10 - receive on-the-way call from K.
5:20 - chat finishes and I place order for K's dinner.
5:25 - I complete frantic shutdown of computer systems and start walk to La Salsa.
5:30 - K reaches La Salsa and retrieves dinner.
5:35 - I arrive at Starbucks and place order for green tea and orange tea.
5:40 - we depart Starbucks with two cups of boiling water.
5:45 - we call friends in warning of lateness.
5:50 - we remember why we take side streets to go home, and discover that starting at rice end of burrito while driving = bad.
6:05 - we reach home to find guests on patio.
6:30-10:30 - left eye unpleasantness peaks. This coincides with watching 4 eps of B5.
5. Audit at work beginning the 21st. 21 files in need of attention and no time during work to provide it. B5 in evening on 16th, class enabling me to keep job on 19th, family night and/or pillage and/or prep for Lost party on 20th. Work building open 8 am-1 pm on weekends. Wake up 6 am Saturday, arrive at 8:15 and work until 2:15. 14 files down, 7 to go.
6. Tori concert 7:30 pm on 17th. Preparations taken with DayQuil, etc. do not prevent 10-minute coughing fit lasting through one favorite of mine and one of K's. Cold damp air outdoors at the Greek is not friend to nasopharynx. K does better which really burns me as I am the one with supposedly normal respiratory tract.
7. Wake up 8 am Sunday, arrive at work 10 am, work until 2:30. Files all pretty. Lunch at Finbar's. Oasis of contentment.
8. K's turn to suffer as we hit Container Store, Party City, TJ's, and Stater Brothers for ingredients for Cake of Piratey Goodness. Ears assaulted by Celine Dion song in line at SBros.
9. Had pirate time while softening butter for cake. Got to play stand-in for MIA groom in triple wedding taking place 24th. Stayed on much too long and did not start cake until 8 pm.
10. Cake did not want to assemble nor stay assembled. Attacked cake with toothpicks and skewers to hold it in treasure-chest shape. Refrigerator accepted cake and the gigantic platter it rode in on. And the peasants rejoice.
11. No coughing fits during last 3 hours of cake, nor during 15 minutes of brain-racking in attempt to post benign, coherent piratey blog entry on Ramblings. Therefore, per 2:30 am logic, attempted sleep sans NyQuil. Had 1/2 hour of exhaustion-induced half-dreams, half-hallucinations and woke up coughing. Thereafter woke up every 20-30 min to cough. Marveled, upon getting up at alarm time, that K had allowed me to live through the night.
12. Looked in mirror this morning and both eyes were identical shade of pink. Too exhausted to do anything but stare.
13. Have coughed all day due to not wanting to OD on dextromethorphan. Will have killer 6-pack if I keep this up.
14. Eyes itchy like allergies tonight. Damn flowering Delvians.
