Whining Alert: Day Four

Here I sit with a sore nose, stuffed ears and aching ribs - all from fours days of blowing my nose and coughing violently.  I felt it coming on Tuesday afternoon.  Wednesday morning at 3 am I called my boss to say I was staying home.  I really hoped one day of rest would do it and it felt like it almost did.  Thursday wasn't too bad, but yesterday was really, really terrible.  I had to go to work because I had two file reviews coming in and the other person who could have done them was leaving at noon.  I struggled through the day with my pockets full of kleenex and a cup of water with me at all time.  I had to have a sip of water after I'd had the "eyes popping out of my eye" kind of coughing fit or I couldn't talk.  I'm sure more than one person wondered if they should call 911. 

I'm trying to take it easy today, but, I have so much stuff to do.  I still need to cleandbubley 's house and I have laundry and the kitchen and dining room table really need a good cleaning.  Pippin would love some attention and I really need to work with her before the next class on Tuesday night.  Or I could just go back to bed withstonebender until he is ready to get up.   Which will probably be real soon because I'll probably have a marathon coughing session just after I lay down.
