enteleinStill sick. Still not king.
The cold is breaking up quite a bit - any coughing I am doing today is fairly productive, and non-painful. Throat is no longer really sore, and the whole left side of my face is one big sinus cavity that is ticklish and in some pain. I've been dosing more seriously with the daytime sinus meds, and trying to make more effort to sleep. Oh! Also no fever - in fact, other than one reading a couple days ago that might've been a slight spike due to over-exerting myself (like, up to a 98.8 for maybe an hour or two), I've been holding steady around 97.6 or so.
Basically, my schedule over the last several days has been to get up pretty early to feed the cat or watch her eat, eat some breakfast myself, hydrate, maybe do one tiny chore, and then watch movies or TV show episodes until I get tired in the early afternoon, at which point I fall into a crazy deep sleep. Then I wake up, hydrate some more, and watch more TV stuff until I am totally tired and it's stupid o'clock in the morning, and then I repeat the whole process.
Basic things are still tiring me out - I got annoyed with half of my bedroom looking like sick person central, so I tidied up all the tissues and mugs from tea and a few dishes and blister packs from sinus meds, and I vacuumed the rug, and it just about wiped me out energy-wise once I was done.
Chad and Melissa were in the neighborhood tonight and had time to kill before needing to head back into Chapel Hill, so they swung by and we went to Pei Wei for dinner. It was packed there, so we opted to sit outside, even though there was just a hint of a chill. Even that wore me out pretty well, but it was nice to get out in the world and socialize and have noodles, even though I was pretty useless personality-wise.
I then played some Gears 2 online with some work peeps, and started on Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, which is fun so far. I'd love to work on my apartment some more, but until I am done with this cold, I am pretty fatigued. Bleh.
I am thinking tomorrow's gonna be a super sleep day. Maybe I will go check my mailbox (haven't checked the mail since Thursday or so), but other than that, it's definitely gonna be the big push to get well before Monday, since I want and need to get back to work.
