A Wasted Weekend

My nose was a bit runny on Thursday but I didn't think much of it. Maybe some allergies? I don't have normal allergies. I have random allergies so certainly a possibility. I wasn't sure what was going on so I drank some airborne and went about my day.

By the time I came home I was not feeling well. Sore throat. Stuffy nose. The works. UGH. I woke up Friday morning feeling even worse! I wanted so badly to call in sick but I can't really do that. I mean I guess I could but I don't have a back-up anymore therefore it all falls on me. I hope to change this going forward but for the time being I had no choice but to go in. Womp womp. I did what I needed to do while drinking lots of water and sucking on Ricola. I was certain I would at least be able to go home early. But then something else came up. And I had to stay. Talk about a shit day. I finally made it home by 4:30 after 40 minutes of I-4 traffic. The worst.

 

 

I slept for a few hours once I got home from work and when I woke up Dustin made me soup. He also moved my (DESKTOP) iMac onto my night stand so I could hang out online or watch a movie or whatever I wanted. It was kind of the best. Being able to watch a movie from my computer while laying in bed is amazing! I still have no desire for a laptop but I will admit it's the one thing they have over desktops. I ended up watching Reality Bites on HBOGO. I have seen bits and pieces over the years but I don't think I've ever seen the whole thing from start to finish. It's so good! Winona! Ethan! 90s!

I woke up at 5am on Saturday morning due to not being able to breathe properly. It's awful to feel so exhausted but not be able to sleep. So I ended up finishing my book (a separate post is coming soon on that!) which was at least productive. I stayed in bed ALL day sleeping here and there when my body would allow - internetting and TV watching in between. Dustin was in and out checking on me and bringing me things. He's the best caretaker in the universe. UNIVERSE! There's no one I rather be by my side when I'm not feeling well. I mean, he not only went to buy me sprite and soup BUT also made a separate trip to get me tampons. (Yeah, I was cursed with a cold and a period AT THE SAME TIME which should be illegal.) If that doesn't scream KEEPER than I don't know what does. But truly, I am so thankful to have such a wonderful husband - in good times and bad, in sickness and health.

I was able to watch The Way Way Back on my computer (while in bed of course). I loved everything about that movie. Seriously, start to finish was awesome. Steve Carrell's character was such a dick! Sam Rockwell was incredibly charming. And Allison Janney was hilarious. It's worth a watch just for her alone.When 8pm rolled around Dustin and I cozied up on the couch and turned on the Pens game. They played an outdoor game in Chicago. Outdoor games are fun in theory but when the snow is coming down hard it seems like there really is no point. We got our asses handed to us. I didn't even end up watching the whole thing it was so bad. But at least my boy Fleury looked ever so bad ass in his Steelers inspired helmet. If you can't win, at least look good while losing. Right?

Sunday was more of the same on the cold front. I was feeling better but still no where near 100%. I managed to go to CVS and to Firehouse without collapsing. But then life kicked me while I was just about to get up, as it always does. Dustin and I had heard a weird noise coming from my car while we were out. Once I parked, he found a nail in one of my rear tires. UGH. I was too exhausted to even comment on it. So I told him let's eat lunch and then worry about it. Instead of throwing a temper tantrum (which is really what I wanted to do) I sucked it up and took my car to get patched up. I was so over running around, especially on a Sunday AND WHILE SICK. Whine whine, yeah yeah. It was annoying but I got it fixed. Done and over.

 

 

Dustin and I stayed up late to watch the Oscars. We didn't go to bed until 12! We both had trouble falling asleep but he eventually started snoring which meant he was good to go. 1 am came and went and I was still unable to fall asleep because of my throat. So I decided to watch Friends on Nickelodeon for awhile hoping it would make me tired. It didn't. But it did wake up Dustin. Whoops.

I'm ready for a weekend I can actually enjoy! Only 3 days away...
