I’m not feeling well, which is probably contributing to my current funk. It seems like I just got over a “virus” not too long ago and now I’m feeling like I’ve got a cold of some type. My sinuses are acting up I guess.
Last night I came home from work, ate a half a cup of clam chowder, took my meds and went to bed. My head was throbbing and everything seemed to make it hurt worse. I just pulled the quilt up around my ears and lay in the dark listening to the radio until I fell asleep.
Even though I slept until about 9:00 am this morning, I still feel really tired. My nose is running and I’ve definitely got a cough going on. It comes in spirts and when I get to coughing I cough so hard I just about throw up. And, afterwards, I’m having a little trouble catching my breath.
My throat hurts, probably from sinus drainage, as does my ear.
Thank God Phyllis took me to the store when she was here so I’m well stocked. We’ve had an ice and snow storm and getting groceries in the snow is no picnic when you don’t drive.
Even though the roads are fine now, the snow plows pile all of the snow on the sidewalks, right on top of the inch or more of ice that was already there. No one salts or sands sidewalks. As it’s not expected to get over freezing the rest of the week, the snow isn’t likely to melt either which means it could be some time before I can get my grocery cart down the sidewalk.
Add to that feeling basically crappy, and well, I’m glad I don’t need to go to the store.
I am frustrated though. I’m frustrated that I feel so tired and I have so much to do! I hate it when I feel so tired for weeks on end and there’s no good explanation for it. It makes me feel guilty wondering if the problem is me. Am I just lazy? Why, if I’m doing so well, am I so tired all the time? Why, if I’m so well, do I have days at work where I feel as though I’ve got the focus of a nat because all I want to do is sleep?
I’m normally a very busy, active person, and thus when I’m feeling this kind of fatigue it makes me soooo frustrated!
