30 Advil liquid gels
3-2 liters of Sprite
2 rescheduled meetings
2 boxes of kleenex with lotion
2 cans of chicken noodle soup
1 bottle of Gatorade
1 bottle of Simply Orange
1 bottle of anitbiotics
1 package of mucinex
And a voice that sounds like a sixty year old who has smoked two packs a day her whole life.
I felt a tingle in the back of my throat one day last week. Friday morning, I woke up with a manly voice and chest congestion. Saturday, I tried my best to put aside my sickness, as we had planned to give A her big Christmas present. By Saturday evening, I was pretty much done. My body said enough. I have barely been out of bed since then. I've been battling a fever that will go from 103, to normal, to 101 after taking Advil. Despite the lotion in the tissues, my nose is horrid looking. I have a migraine from hell that only goes away after I slam four Advil down. The coughing, nasal congestion, and chest congestion, have me breathing like I've been smoking for forty years.
The timing of this sucks. It's wonderful that it waited until after my finals, but of course I only have a few more days to test out of this Math class and I haven't had time to study yet. I have a back up plan if all else fails, but I really would prefer to not have to fall back on it.
I guess I better get back in bed. I'm starting to sweat again, which I'm pretty sure means my fever is coming back. Awesome. Not.

Oh my, I'm so sorry... I have all the same, except the fever! Mine when from a sinus infection, to sore throat, and now has settled in my chest. I missed 4 days of work (I'm a sub, so I just didn't go to work that day) last week, and left after 1/2 a day today... Hope you get to feeling better!
