Okay, I cannot believe the VOLUME of mucus that my one little head, my lungs, and my sinus system can produce and spew. I'm sure if I wasn't blowing and hacking and rinsing every minute day and night, my whole head would have exploded by now. And this isn't even the flu. It's just some stupid cold or bug or whatever. But I got some antibiotics on board this morning, and I'm predicting a slight recovery by tomorrow.
I soldiered through most of the weekend, because it's Christmas, damn it, and shit has to happen. But when I woke up dead this morning and looked at the reality of actually WORKING, I caved and took the antibiotic and some Progresso chicken soup (thank God I bought a case at Costco the other day) and went to bed. And, although I've had brief bouts with the computer/office today, I just was not functional.
And this whole being sick deal might have been a good weight loss technique, were it not for the DIABOLICAL chocolate/candy manufacturers. Hershey's has gone NUTS with the little Kiss. It's not just about holiday-colored foil any more -- they've got candy cane kisses, caramel, almond, dark chocolate, and, my personal fave/new addication, the cherry cordial. OMG, they're just like those cherry cordials I used to sneak at the holidays, but I can eat them in one bite without oozing the center goo all over myself. And then the candy bar people -- who is that Mars? -- they've got these little baby one-bite holiday candy bars that I had to get. And since no one's trick or treatin' for Christmas, guess who's eating most of these things? Yes, when you're really sick, chocolate seems like a good idea.
Next weekend though, I'm right back at it. Mostly. Probably.
