Yucky Days

Well, the last couple of days have been sick, yucky days. I woke up on Tuesday with a headache, body aches, and a really bad head cold. I didn't do much in the morning, but I had a doctors appointment in the afternoon. So I was already not feeling well and I had to go do that and get blood drawn on top of it. I needed to do some grocery shopping, so I forced myself to go to the store while I was in town. It was absolutely horrible. I was tired and achy and all I wanted was to go home and lie down. The only thing that got me through the shopping was knowing that I was picking up stuff to make some homemade soup. It's my Grandma's recipe and my favorite soup. So when I got home I started that up, just to fall asleep on the couch, and the soup ended up burning. Yes, I burned soup. I was so upset. I had to dump the whole pot. And then on top of it, I got a bloody nose later that night, which was bad enough but it was coming out of my mouth too. It was disgusting. Yesterday, after I woke up, I was in the kitchen getting something for breakfast when Michael walked in the back door. Well, I didn't realize it was him (it was the middle of the morning after all, he should have been at work) and I was so upset, as if someone was breaking into the house. I rested most of the day, which means sleeping next to Sammy, which isn't so bad. I ended up going to bed last night with a migraine. So this morning when I woke up with just some congestion, I was more than pleased. So I still have a little nasal and chest congestion but I'm feeling much better than I have.

We had such a great weekend too. We bought ourselves a XBox for Christmas, so we spent the weekend playing on that, mostly guitar hero. We laughed that it was a "hero" kind of weekend, playing guitar hero and watching Incredible Hulk and Hancock. We didn't even plan that. Michael is much better on the guitar than me, but maybe now that I'm feeling a little better, I'll get some practice time in while he's at work. Hehe.

The salt truck just passed through the neighborhood. It only took a day. We got some freezing rain on Monday night and so the roads were sheets of ice yesterday. Most of the schools in central Indiana were closed. I'm always surprised at the delay of getting the roads taken care of here. I remember when it would snow back home the roads would be plowed by the time I left for work/school. Not here, but we just don't get that type of weather either. I'm still waiting for some snow to really stick. It usually does in January when I don't really want it anymore. I guess I'll have to get used to having a non-white Christmas.
