I am in the plugged sinus, no-taste, no-smell phase of my sickness. I had the runny nose for the better part of the day, and after wanting to shove super-plus absorbency tampons up my nose holes, I decided to just sit up for a little while. Sitting at the desk makes my nose not so runny and I don’t feel like I need to send Dennis back to the store for tampons. Heh. Would I do that?!
Dennis has been a really good nurse for me today. He washed the laundry, except he washed everything and noticed that I had eight more pairs of panties than normal. Oopsie. When he was done with the laundry, he found out the hard way that there’s a reason I never completely empty the laundry baskets here and I have a system: There’s just no room for everything to be put away.
Live and learn.
He also went to the store and bought me several types of de-congestiants and fixed me a small dinner. I actually ate solid food. Go me! I took a couple of Tylenol and Dennis took my temperature with an antique thermometer. I don’t know what my temperature actually is, but it’s in the ‘fever’ lines of the thermometer so I’m going to guess it’s about 100. I’m coughing a lot and I’m sleepy, but other than that and the occasional plugged nose and lack of taste and smell (which may/may not be a good thing around here!) I feel better.
I’m still going to attempt to drop my class Tuesday and I’m going to pick up the mail. I got a notice in the mail that my isotopes were attempted to be mailed today, but I was asleep and didn’t get it. Damn. I could have been doing my research all weekend while I’m sick. Who knows? Possibly inhaling all those topes is what kept me from getting sick all this time!
