Worst cold evar

I first came down with this cold a week ago Friday. When my in-laws left on Sunday I couldn't get out of bed to see them off on their cruise. I'm not sure they'd have wanted me with them in the close quarters of the car anyway. Would have been rude to send them off with this bug.

I worked from home two full days last week, plus half one day. Yesterday was without a doubt the worst day of all. Lots of stuffiness and I took nice long naps but I was "working from home" and I had a lot to do.

I went to the store in the morning, got three gallons of orange juice, half a gallon of lemonade, a package of cold-eez, four boxes of tissues, two bottles of anti-bacterial jizz, a package of halls, and four breakfast muffins. Thing was I left my discount card at home. I gave the guy my phone number and it didn't work. I keep the number and a photo of my card on my iphone but of course I'd left that at home. So the guy goes into this whole thing about getting a card, changing my phone number, getting a new card, save my receipts and bring my card in and they'll give me the difference, on and on... and I just stared at him. I looked like a damned tweaker what with the cold and the leg and all. He noticed finally that I didn't care and he handed me my change.

Last night was the worst. We got one of those Wii Fit things. I set myself up on it but that was all I had in me to do. After the kids went to bed La was on the darned thing forever. I watched from the couch and fell asleep. She woke me up after awhile and took my temperature and after a week of fighting this lousy cold I had a fever. We're guessing sinus infection.

Not sure when it was but sometime yesterday I told La this cold was killing me and I felt like I was going to die. "Oh come on, it can't be that bad..." she says. I demanded an apology. At that point it seemed like she was a day behind me with symptoms. I woke up this morning feeling better than yesterday and she woke up on death's doorstep. I couldn't help myself and reminded her of what she said the day before. Karma, if there is such a thing, is a pain in the ass.
