Stupid Sick

[angelchicken]

This is what I hate about being sick

- being congested. I feel like my sinuses are going to explode.
- random coughing, even though I don't have any chest congestion. The coughing makes no sense and I think it is just that my lungs are feeling neglected because the cold hasn't gotten there. Yet. Stupid lungs.
- Always feeling like I have to wash my hands. I wash my hands regularly, anyway (after the bathroom, before I eat, stuff like that) but, dude. I feel like I have to wash them every five minutes because I feel so grimey and apparently my subconscious blames my hands, which actually makes sense so hurray for my subconscious but boo for my dried out skin. Lotion just makes me feel the need to wash them again. It's a vicious cycle.
- Clogged feeling ears. And when I try to pop them it just makes it worse. And then I will swallow or yawn and they will almost feel better but then they don't and it is just a tease, like my ears are saying "Ha, Ha! You have no control over your body and I do hope you enjoy the minor vertigo that comes with the cloggy ear feeling. Suffer, Bitch!"
- The amount of drugs I need to pump into my system to make myself feel slightly normal. I have taken Ecinacia (sp?), vitamin C, Advil Cold and Sinus, and cold-eze.
- Cold-eze. It is Satan's cure. Because it really does help. But it tastes awful and the zinc makes everything you eat taste slightly metallic. And the lozenge makes me kind of nauseas. And if it helps the cold, but hurts the tummy is it really effective? Yesterday I had only a small bowl of Grape Nuts and some carrots because the stupid cold-eze hurt my tummy. Bah!
- I ache. I feel like I have been lifting weights for about three straight hours. Stupid arms.
- I am cold and bundled, but wearing a lot of clothes makes me feel grimey so I have to keep washing my hands and we're back to the vicious cycle. And I would take another shower, but I hate the cold feeling after getting out and I will just feel grimey again in a few hours. Maybe I'll wait until after Buffy.

UGH! Why can't I just be healthy again? On the plus side, New Buffy in less than two hours! Yay! That makes me happy.

Okay. I'm done bitching and now I will go. Um. Do something. Not sure what yet. But something.

Final note (and I am putting this here so as not to put a spuffy icon in scaryveinybb's lj) I flove Erin's mom. She rocks. And I giggled and giggled when I read her post from yesterday (?). Power to the Spuffy love!

Random other: I was looking through the mood icons and I saw jubilant, but I thought it said jailbait and that made me giggle because I had to think of what kind of mood jailbait would be. My conclusion would be a mood similar to Britany Spears circa 1999.

Real final note: two quick questions: 1) How does one bold the name of anothe lj-er. Can't figure that out. 2) How does one make a post that you have to click on a link to read. I just don't understand this newfangled technology.

Plain ol' bold is this: [b]text[/b].

Fancy linky to somebody's LJ is this: [lj user="reginapinguina"].

Click on the link to read, aka LJ cut is this: [lj-cut text="The text of the link goes here (optional)"]Actual journal content goes here.[/lj-cut].

In all of the above, use < and > in place of [ and ] for it to work.

Yeah, that's right, laugh it up. You'll all be sorry when Buffy marries Angel and they have millions of babies together and spend their days throwing ROCKS at loser Spike!

Just a dream I had...

(Incidentally, since you went out of your way not to SULLY my lj with Spuffy, I'm returning the favour.)
