Colds Suck

I spent the whole day yesterday either thrown on the couch or on my bed in a pathetic, boogery heap. I rested as much as I could, drank orange juice and water, and read Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix–when I was conscious of course. John, who’s not much of a reader (and he, himself admits it happily), was in utter shock that I read 250 pages in one day. I could have read more but my eyes kept rolling into the back of my head involuntarily. I felt horrible–the body aches, the runny nose…I just hope I’m better by Tuesday (my final!).

I woke up feeling a tad bit better today. My nose isn’t running and my throat doesn’t hurt (as much), but my ears are stuffed and I’m REALLY dizzy. I didn’t do any chores around the house yesterday (except for making breakfast) and I felt really energized this morning so I ironed Mario’s work clothes, made pancakes and washed the dishes we used during breakfast (John woke up at 4:30 am so he washed last night’s dishes and threw the trash out). Needless to say, by the time I was done, the room would not stop spinning. I still feel kind of dizzy now, but I’m trying not to walk around too much. I still have to do laundry though, and study! I just hope I can stay awake long enough to.

I really hope I feel better by tomorrow . I hate driving when I feel like this.
