Yuck! That is all I can say about the past few days. After the screaming hot weather, it went back to being a normal Oregon spring, i.e. gray, wet and cold. As always, my body didn't adjust quite as well to the sudden changes and I caught a cold. No big deal right? Normally yes, but this is me we're talking about! Jeremy caught the same cold, we think, and he just has some sniffles and a little cough. I, on the other hand, am completely stuffed up and dripping at the same time (can someone just tell me how that is possible?) and coughing so much that I am practically living on cough drops (cherry menthol gets pretty disgusting after the 50th one). Poor Jeremy has slept on the couch the last few nights because I am so nasty and he wouldn't have gotten any sleep with my sniffing and coughing. Yuck, yuck and more yuck!!!
As I sit here with my plastic bag brimming over with used tissue (toilet paper really, I ran out of Kleenex sometime in the middle of the night), I wonder how in the world I lived like this for so long. I have no idea how I went to school, student taught and all of that feeling this raunchy for years! I guess it's all a testament to rising to the occasion . . . I wish I could remember some of my old survival techniques because I need them now!!!!

I feel your pain with not getting much sleep and being sick all the time. Nothing is fun about it, but it has to pass, or at least get better soon! :) Hope all is well. Hang in there, I love ya.
