Tissue Tusks

I’ve felt progressively worse as today’s passed. My head was stuffy in the morning and I was constantly coughing and blowing my nose, but now I’m certain my right ear is infected, I can’t stop sneezing and either one of my nostrils is clogged or watery boogers are rolling out. I thought I was passed that stage already, the watery boggers. I had the gross, phlemy ones in the morning and–oh my God, that must mean I’m reverting! I’m going backwards and I’m going to start this cold all over again :(.

The poor kids have been keeping themselves busy all day. We haven’t left the house at all. They’ve been good boys for the most part, except for that one time in the afternoon when I finally gave in to the fatigue and fell asleep on the couch (mom and John were here to watch them). I could hear the boys screaming their heads off about something and of course Mother didn’t tell them anything (sometimes I wonder why I ask her to watch them) so I had to tell them to quiet down. It happened a few times so I gave up on sleeping.

The only reason I’m even typing right now is because my back is throbbing in pain from laying down too long. Sitting too long hurts my legs. It’s so weird. The pain I get feels like I’ve done 1,000 lunges or something.

How I managed to make dinner is beyond me. I’m terrified of spreading this cold, especially to the boys since they’re FINALLY not sick of something *knocks on wood*. My hands are dry and rough from washing my hands all day. I was afraid of getting one of those surprise sneezes while I was cooking (I made nachos with “the works”) so I stuffed a tissue in each nostril and covered my face up to my nose with my t-shirt. At least I got to eat in peace. I’m probably going to have to go to the doctor, though, as much as I loathe it. I hope this stupid ear infection lets me sleep. Well, as much as a 9 month pregnant woman can sleep.

OH! I received the keyboard I ordered on Ebay for my phone (SPH i500). It was the wrong damn one. It’s only compatible with the newer models (mine’s a little old man already), yet the ones that are for my phone look exactly like the one I ordered. Now I’m stuck with this darn keyboard (and it’s so friggin’ cute, too!). Mario told me to order the right one and not to “worry” about the other, which probably means he’ll sell it to someone but I don’t know of anyone who has one of these phones! I’d feel totally guilty spending another $17-25 on another darn keyboard. I’m putting it up for sale. Hopefully someone will buy it =\.

Okay, going to add some more old 2005 entries. I might set up camp on the couch like I did this afternoon (yay for my wireless mouse, keyboard and PC to TV converter–I’d still rather have a laptop though LOL).
