Over the Counter Meds, Paranoia & untapped energy.

I'm sure I've mentioned on more than one occassion - medicine/drugs are not my friend. Especially decongestants. Well, with stuffed or blocked everything I just plain can't function without a decongestant. So I chose the one that does me the least amount of damage.

SURPRISE. I'm slightly paranoid. I said it, I also have boundless amounts of energy, am talking about 90 miles a minute. Unfortunately I have no one to talk to so its all in my head. I'm not sure that's a good thing, but I can't help it. I've decided to use it to clean. I don't think I've ever accomplished so much that didn't need to be done or doesn't show. Cleaned out and organized the pantry. I somehow managed to empty the dishwasher while my eggs were in the pan and I didn't burn them - SEE?!?! Laundry, car, paperwork, trash. I would deserve a reward if I was not sick, but sick, I deserve the Congressional Medal of Cleaning and if there is not one, they should make one, just for me.

Dear President Obama: The unemployed or SAHM of the world need a special award for their tireless work and no salary.....

AAAAAAAAHHHHH! The linen closet is calling.

Sick Bed

I went to the doctor this morning, because I woke up and felt like crap. I have no health insurance - DAMN ECONOMY - so I really have to feel bad to go. I have:

Bronchitis

Pharyngitis

A sinus infection

blocked eustation tubes

I got antibiotics & a 90 day supply of Xanax. I'm off to bed now.

NEWS FLASH

I feel sick. I sound two octaves and "throatier" than Kathleen Turner. My ear drums might explode and I am officially going to bed. It also hurts when I cough, so I'm trying not to do that.

Hopefully tomorrow I will wake up all better. If not, I'm napping the WHOLE time the kids are in school.

Seriously.

Only I could pull this off

So I think I'm dying from a really nasty sinus infection, finally give up trying to work and decide to go home.  I shut the car door in the office parking lot and have the doctor's office on the phone before I get to the parking lot exit.  After a few I can't make that they just have me come in.  It turns out I have 4 'itises.  FOUR.  Sinusitis, Pharyngitis, Bronchitis & Adenitis.  

CRAP! 

I mean, one OK, two not so hot, but FOUR and my husband is having back surgery tomorrow and my mother is coming up here today.  Don't you want to be me?

What have I done?

Why do we do things when we know better?  

I have the absolute worse tolerance for medicine.  For example, Benedryl turns me into a rocking zombie totally wired and up and my skin crawls.  The last time I took a decongestant, my boss sent me to be drug tested.  If nausea is a side effect - I will be so sick to my stomach and dizzy its off to bed.

Well, I apparently have picked up the "Something Viral" Hunter had.  Yes, I am thrilled.  And after a day of incredible pressure in my head and not being able to breathe out of my nose.  I said I need to sleep, and I used Afrin.  BIG MISTAKE.  Oh, I could breathe, the problem was my heart was racing, and I was wired for sound.  Now, it is wearing off, my hose is killing me and I haven't slept in 24 hours.  

HAPPY TUESDAY!
