days_unfoldingI feel like the “ichy, watery eyes” of a cold med commercial.
I woke up at 3:30 AM and used the washroom and checked LJ and DW. I’m going back to sleep. No, I couldn’t for quite a while. I couldn’t breathe through my nose, so I was breathing through my mouth, but that triggered coughing and tears rolling down my face. I kept on changing positions until I found one where I could breathe through my nose. It was after 5 AM at that point. Slept until 8 and I emailed in sick.
Yep, my bank transfers to Schwab are working. My dad said to invest the money in a municipal money fund until I’m ready to invest it for real.
Gracie didn’t want to come inside, not even for a donut. It took a half-hour to get her in here. I was getting annoyed. Bella ran back out a couple of times too.
I need to feed the dogs (done) and myself (done).
Oliver is on the ledge above my bedroom door. Then he slowly made is way towards me, getting attention from the dogs. I tried to get the dogs to leave, but no. Oliver made it over to me, but he wanted to play whappy paws with claws out. I removed him. Then I went to use the washroom. I have been leaking urine when I cough or sneeze, so I got a pad on. The dogs followed me out, so I ran back and shut the door with no dogs or cats. Now I can finally sleep. I started coughing and felt like I was going to throw up but didn’t. I got up and am making some Ramen.
I’m wondering if I should take a shower to break up the congestion. I took a DayQuil and did take a shower. It helped. Now I want to order more NyQuil and DayQuil. I also ordered some cough drops. Got them. I’m going to eat a little and try a nap.
I’ve been getting irritated about all the obits about Scott Adams. He wasn’t a very nice guy. On the other hand, he died relatively young (only five years older than I am now), and I’m probably cranky because I don’t feel well.
I did get a couple hours of sleep. Bella came in with me but napped. Now I let the dogs out. It’s feeding time for the critters (done). Ate dinner. Took NyQuil and my nighttime meds. Bedtime soon.
I need to call the hand doctor’s office tomorrow morning. I don’t think that they want me to come in with a cold.
