And now to contrast all the happy stuff… I am feeling really freakin’ irritated right now. You see, yesterday when I called Den from work to moan that I felt cruddy he made me call the Midwife office to ask if there’s anything I can take for this damn congestion. So I did. And they said, Sudafed! I was surprized by that, I really thought they were going to tell me I was SOL and would just have to suffer through.<\/p>\n
The problem<\/i> is that it made me think I would feel better. I’m not really a huge fan of medications on the whole, but when you have to still work<\/i> and clean the house you tend to really like to sleep sometimes in between days. So yes, when I’m sick sometimes I can be coaxed into taking something. (Yes coaxed… hubby generally has to convince me to. Even that time I had the flu really bad, he was really forcing me to take some gross nasty stuff, because I wouldn’t on my own.)<\/p>\n
So I got home and took some Sudafed. In the middle of the night I took another. This morning another. And you know what? I still feel just as crappy. I don’t notice any difference at all<\/i>. WTF? I realize it’s not going to miraculously “cure” me, but I thought I would see some kind of improvement. Drinking a hot chocolate helped far more than this so-called decongestant. (This is not the first time that a drug failed to do anything to me. I remember taking some medication, it was supposed to make me drowsy, it apparently knocks Den righ tout. Yeah. It didn’t do a thing.)<\/p>\n
One nostril is totally stuffed, and the other is irritated and bleeding a little bit. It’s lovely. I mean, I’m thankful that both aren’t totally stuffed, but I would love to lay on my left side without suffocating. I don’t like sleeping on my right side nearly as much.<\/p>\n
So yeah. I’m not horribly sick, it’s not like I’m dying or anything. I’m not in pain (well, my nose is raw, but it’s nothing bad), I’m just tired and irritated. I hope my body kicks this out quickly or I’m going to be one crabby pregnant woman.<\/p>\n
(Tell that to the cats. They’ve decided I’m already a crabby pregnant woman. They were SULKING at me because I kept tossing them off the kitchen counter. I am threatening to buy scat mats if they don’t stay the eff off my counter. Apparently me grousing and tossing them off 12 times in 5 minutes is not getting through their stubborn little cat heads of theirs. I have enough fur in my food as it is, without having a cat walking over my dish five times! Damn!)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
