This marks the third night in a row that I'm in my pj's before 8 pm. Except maybe yesterday doesn't count since I never technically got out of my pj's all day. I'm having flashbacks of getting sick in Ecuador and I NEVER want to go back to that experience. Every time I get sick I become further cemented in my view that not having kids is a great idea. Because how do you people PARENT when you feel like this? My poor dog didn't have her evening walk for 2 days.
Today I braved the outside world and (semi)taught one of my classes before throwing in the towel and canceling the other one. I know my body thinks we're moving along with plans as scheduled (What? Robin has a break from school? Time to knock of her socks with sickness!), except for the fact life is no longer "as scheduled." Yes, Fuller is on spring break, but I still have my clerkship duties, teaching duties, writing my final integration paper duties, and figuring out this pre-internship mess duties. So, body, this is me telling you to snap out of that old system we used to abide by. I cannot afford to be sick right now.
Until my body listens to my lecturing, I am sort of doing work, but mostly reading strangers blogs (is it weird that one is a sweet Mormon girl and the other is liberal lucy with the mouth of a sailor?) and ingesting as much fluids and Vitamin C as possible. This evening I walked Mia up to Jamba Juice to get a smoothie to soothe my throat and boost my immunity. While waiting for my Cold Buster (or something else as cleverly named), a stranger inquired about my hair stylist and spent the next 10 minutes asking me detailed questions on how I fix my hair. She may not have cleansed my chest of phlegm, but she sure gave me a little bounce to my step on the walk home. Until I had a coughing fit. Sigh.
Potential silver lining: getting sick now means I won't be sick when my sista comes out to visit next week! Fingers crossed!

oh....whoops. blame the cold medicine. can't be my ineptness around the computer. No way. The other blog is this: http://www.girlsgonechild.net/
And it is a good thing that I didn't walk with you. :) Maybe soon.
I hope you don't have what I ad (Influenza B-so I'm convinced). I had it for 6 weeks and still counting. I hear you though. I have pretty much given up on showering or changing out of my pajamas.
I hope you start feeling better much, much sooner!
