Sick Weekend
14 June 2010
There’s nothing quite like knowing you’re about to get sick … and also knowing it’s too late to do anything about it.
The sore throat started Wednesday night. Literally, one minute I felt totally fine, and the next I’m like, “Hey, my throat’s kinda sore…”
Thursday afternoon, I developed a runny nose. Same deal too. Sitting at my computer, feeling fine other than the scratchy throat, then suddenly I’m blowing my nose every few minutes.
Overnight I was miserable. Friday I was worthless. And, of course, that’s the day my husband came home from a week long hiking trip. So he returned to a messy house and a wife who kept him awake all night blowing her nose.
The sore throat has vanished, and my nose is mostly better, but now I have this chest-rattling cough that’s real attractive to listen to. One of those where you sound like a barking seal. Sigh. I really think it should be against the laws of nature to be sick while pregnant. Especially if you already have a kid.
Back to sucking on cough drops and drinking my fluids. Hopefully I’ll be back to 85% healthy or something tomorrow and can come up with something more interesting to talk about.

Sorry you’re feeling lousy. I dosed James with some Benadryl and sent him to bed today. He’s laid low by allergies…the rain here is relentless and he’s got some mold allergy. Poor kid.
In other news, I picked up a copy of So Over It today at my local Christian Bookstore…and the gal at the register looked it over really close, flipped it over and read the back cover copy, and said “This sounds really good!”
I assured her it was fabulous, you were a terrific writer, and btw, they only had one copy left on the shelf. I also mentioned since this was book one in the series, she might want to try books 1 and 2 along with, because they were all fabulous…
and I’m supposed to be writing, but I might have to take a break to read my new book! :D
Feel better!

Erica, you’re worth every penny you charge :)
And how sweet of you to get a copy! I’m loving the support.
Poor James :( There’s something about being sick that always leaves me thinking, “I want my mommy…”

I was wondering how you were feeling. Sorry you’re not totally better yet. =( Praying for a much higher percentage before the day’s out!
