And wants to bitch. :C Much congestion, very snot.

Picked up a headcold all decked out with chills and a fever Tuesday morning after work. I went to bed Tuesday morning thinking my sinus issue was maybe just an allergy flare. Then I woke up three hours later to find I had sweat the bed. :/ Rolled over to change the sheets and almost hit the floor I felt so shitty. Like that utter body fatigue where even breathing seems like a chore? Not ashamed to say it, I just rolled over to the other side of the mattress and made my plushies sleep in the wet spot. X)

I got myself some good over the counter symptom management meds and still suffered through Tuesday night feeling like someone was trying to pop my eyeballs out by injecting massive amounts of fluid up my nose and feeling like a trip to the bathroom required a chauffer.

The fever broke this morning, which was a huge plus, because I actually got my appetite back and some good rest in before work tonight. I felt good enough that I even washed the sheets that I should have changed last night. XD

But then I went to work. I would have never imagined a job as easy as mine could be so physically draining. Everything felt like it weighed 8x its normal weight and time seemed to tick by at a snail's pace. I practically had to drag myself out of my work truck to my car. Then I battled my way through watery eyes and sneezes geared more towards blowing the back of my head off instead of clearing my nose.

Now I lie here in bed, attempting a second go at this sleep thing. Problem is, every time I'm almost asleep, a drip runs out of my nose and makes me jump. Is this what it feels like when your brain turns to mush? It comes out through your eye sockets then drains out your nose? Makes me wonder if its possible to die of dehydration from your nose... O.o

A lot of you reading this wont care, which is cool. I'm not writing this for you, I'm writing it for me, as a way of distracting myself from the discomfort I'm experiencing now, to vent some of my frustration, and to ultimately help me get to sleep. Hopefully it works.

Hope you all are doing much better than me as you're reading this!

PS: I am not dying and as bad as I have dramatised it, I am not going to the doctor yet. The fever did not get above 101°F and it lasted less than 24 hours. The sinus drainage that is accompanying the pressure/pain is still clear and watery, and not the white/grey thick mucusy snot that heralds the coming of a sinus infection. So I'm just miserable but not necessarily in dire straits. Cx
