The chances of me seeing Erika, Jay & Sammy tomorrow are now looking very slim. Not only were they just sick, but now? I can’t breathe through my nose. My eyes itch. I’m coughing. Oh, and I have to get on a plane in less than 24 hours. My head is going to explode, mid-flight.
I thought it was just allergies until yesterday. At the Tremont, they had feather pillows on the bed. I don’t do feather pillows, but I didn’t bother to call the front desk and ask for foam ones. I figured two nights, it would be ok.
When I woke up on Sunday, I felt like crap. So did a number of other people there at the retreat. So again, blame the allergies. It was finally sunny after days of rain, and that seems to mess with everyone.
Yesterday? I finally started to accept that it wasn’t allergies. So last night, in a desperate hunt for a decongestant, I finally gave in and took 1 Dayquil. (They are from last year, so they still have the decongestant in them.) I only took ONE, not the recommended two. I was afraid they would make me wired.
I went to sleep sometime after 4:00 am, and only then because I forced myself to sleep. I tried not to stare at the clock, but it might have been closer to 5:00 when I finally drifted off. I was awake by 9:15 am, so now I am spacy, congested, but tired? Oh no. Not tired.
UGH.

Aw, crap. I am so sorry. I always take the night time stuff so it knocks me out. Sleep for me is the best medicine. I’ll see you tonight when you drop Chloe off!
Oh – and of course – I hope you feel better very, very soon!!!!
Oh SHOOT.
I hope you feel better. If it somehow miraculously ends up being just allergies, let us know.
Gah. Sucky sucky sucky. Seems like it wasn’t meant to be this time. WAAAH.
Awwww…poor thing. A word of advice: If you want to knit anything, make sure it’s only stockinette in the round or garter stitch. ;-p
Do you have access to a steam room at some spa or health club? Steam and euclyptus should help and go inhale a quart of OJ. Then down some chicken soup – Maybe Mike has some in the freezer. I know I do. Feel better. Have a good trip. Think about all the yarn shopping in a strange city you’ll get to do – that’ll cure ya!
You were smart to take something before getting on a plane. Being on a plane with a cold or feeling congested is the worst. The pressure is unbearable and your head feels like it will explode. Clariton D works well for me.
