Sniffly sniff, whistily wheeze...

I do not like sickness. He is not my friend. I liken him to an unwelcome house guest that shows up at the most inopportune times and quickly proceeds to wear out his welcome. I just got over strep throat approximately one week ago. Now, a good head cold has taken up residence in my knoggin. Boo.

I must have no manner of luck at all. I hardly ever get sick. My body must be making up for lost time. This is definitely my least favorite part about this time of year. Birthday? Yay! Valentine's Day? Woohoo. Bring on the chocolate. Illness? ... meh. I think I have just created the perfect little cocktail of susceptibility in my life as of late - I get very little sleep. I stress over everything... school, wedding details, laundry, you name it. My diet is not what one might call balanced. And oh yeah... I live with a two year old who goes to daycare. Let's be honest with ourselves here.. is a daycare really anything but a petri dish with a playground and plush toys? Oy with the poodles already.

I don't mean to be so bleh. My head is cloudy. My ears seem plugged... as if everything I hear is a mile away. I cannot breathe through my nose. The bottle to the right is my best friend. -------->



The sniffles bring out the worst in me. I should work on that.

I'm not normally such a stink. I just needed to get my "hmph" out. I was able to get a lot done this evening, which was such a blessing. I have a pretty heavy week this week coming - two or three tests, numerous computer exercises, several short essays, a research paper on ethics in information technology (ugh..), etc. Being able to knock out a lot this evening alleviated some of the stress I was feeling about all of that, especially since Scott and I are painting my dad's entire house (just about) this weekend. That will be fun! Ha. Trust me, a blog will definitely (and hopefully with pictures!) be in store post painting weekend.

In the mean time, I will continue to try to use my time as efficiently as possible, doing things like Google image searching "sniffle," and finding such gems as this one:


Now how can anyone grump at that?

Or other treats that convict me when all I want is a doctor's note so that I don't have to leave my glass of OJ and warm bed to drive all the way to school, like this one:

Now, my strep throat warranted a visit to the doc. I will spare him my sniffles. Should've eaten that apple a day! Drat.
