so frustrating

dragonlady7I felt a little perkier this morning, so I told the receptionist hopefully when I called in that I was surely on the mend, and while I still had a fever, it was sure to break soon so I'd be better by Friday. I also told roller derby peeps I'd mos def be at practice, though I expected to be riding the wall-- eating one meal in two days does not a good skater make.
But I'm up to 102, which is the hottest I've been I think, though this thermometer seems so unreliable I can't tell. I did have the brainwave that the oral readings are likely to be cold because I can't breathe through my nose, so, duh... that won't work.
I've switched from cough suppressant to nasal decongestant, because my chest isn't bothering me at all now, but my sinuses are under so much pressure from within... but I don't know if it's safe to mix ibuprofin with Sudafed SomethingNSomething, and since I haven't eaten all day, I'm much more likely to get completely freaking high on some weird drug interaction than I normally would. I should probably take the ibuprofin anyway because that's what's been keeping the fever down all along.
Bleh bleh bleh, this is so boring, and so frustrating. I have been dying for a day off at home, and here I've had two, and I haven't gotten out of bed at all. Z did a load of dishes this morning, and I told myself it wouldn't be any big deal to follow up and do another, but I haven't even managed to take that one out-- I'm just not steady enough, and it is too cold in that kitchen for me to tolerate it long. That's why I haven't eaten, either-- I just can't deal with the process. I'm starving, but can't really visualize how to get food.
I know I know, it's pretty ridiculous. Also ridiculous is the fact that I can't untangle my hair, and have cried more than once over its sad state.
And now, just so this isn't all whiny, I present to you:
a cute Craigslist posting, which I read in the hopes it would make me cry and clear out my sinuses, but no such luck. Boo.
