I did it.

First of all I stayed home tonight from work because im still stick .. I hate missing work as I love my job .. but i was no good with my coughing .. I'm beginning to think that this isn't a normal cold , by now a normal cold would be easing up but this one seems to be getting worse .. I have a choice keep going and hope its just a cold or call the doc tomorrow and what I see is happening tonight with me and make a apt to maybe get some antibiotics to see if its more than a cold .. you know how a cold runs it course and your cough breaks up and you start to feel better well thats not me it seems to have stopped breaking up and its getting harder and harder to get up when Im coughing thus making me sore all over.. the last time this happened I ended up with bronchitis and after waiting for three weeks of it , it took at least three more weeks to get rid of it. so don't want to go through that again.. Of course I might be reading more into this than nessarary but I know the symptoms of bronchitis and the fever and swollen gland on my right side of my neck is telling me I probably have infection and need something for it. I just hate the thought of spending money on myself .. you know doc cost and then med cost grrrrrr.. been running a fever all day off and on.. please say a short prayer for me that I can get through this without having to go to the doc.. But what i did for myself today was to knit a swimming suit for Kelcee its a really pretty mint green and will take a pic of it once i feel better.. it turned out so good..I cant wait to see what it looks like on her.. Later going to bed to cough yet another night.

Ok enough already

I have had this cold since last week .. I'm about done with it , the first few days was a real pain and then the third day not to bad thought this was going to be a breeze .. well guess what the fourth day its been coughing all night and has been for three days in a row.. Went to work last night and most of the time I was fine but then if I was helping someone on the phone all I did was cough not very good for tech support ,, I think the customers was on hold more then talking with me as all I did was cough.  I think a cold last or is only to last about 10 to 14 days.  Which I hope is true.. that will mean Im almost half way though and am on the down hill of this crappy summer cold. Hubby gave it to me he is grounded.. see we both have it , I cough he cough so both are coughing all night long, thus keeping each other up.. all night. During the day is not to bad as im sitting up but as soon as I lay down or just out of the blue I start coughing. If this last more than the alloted time its is suppose to then this little girl is going to the docs last time I had something like this I ended up with bronchitis. Which I hope dont turn into that  not only does it suck but then there is the cost for the doc I have no insurance and family wonder why Im so picky about being around any sick kids , I have an already weaken immune system from my diabetes, it always happens to me .. If someone has some illness and I'm around them and if I should not get a good night sleep or have tired myself out guess who gets sick.. I even hate to go out to restaurants because of people being sick there , I know im sad a pathetic being that way but I know my own body.. too much stress and worry also will make me sick.. Most the time I say I am ok and fight off the illness but then after awhile it gets to me. Oh by the way its 5.45 am and im writing this post and eating ramon noodles chicken that is my new best friend.. I sure hope I can get back to sleep. Oh by the way I'm not going into work tonight , I think I will just stay home and rest and nap when I want to and not do to much , ususally when im sick I go to work and clean the house sort of sweat it out of me , well I tried that Saturday night went and did a few errands with my mom and then came home and shampooed the carpets , Sunday went to moms and did my laundry which by the way is still sitting in the basket in the front room talk about being lazy , see we live in a upstairs apartment and them steps are killing me.. I cant wait to find a place to be on the gound level. And were I can have my own washer and dryer no more dragging out laundry to where ever and who ever will let me do it at there house or the laundry mat. Well I guess i should try and go back to sleep. Later..
