I Might Be Getting Sick (female, self)

[Chanel_no5]

I might be getting sick, you guys. I woke up with a headache and I've been feeling increasingly chilled throughout the day. I've been kind of achy since yesterday too, but I wrote that off as pre-period aches. Now I'm sitting in the sofa wrapped in two fleece blankets and still freezing like nobody's business, and I'm usually the kind of person who wears T-shirts all year round. My throat isn't exactly sore, but it feels really dry, no matter how much I drink. And a few minutes ago I sneezed a double, that came completely out of the blue. Which is not common for me, I usually get a fair bit of warning when I'm about to sneeze. I can't spell them out because they took me so much by surprise I wasn't fully paying attention, but they were really wet and violent. Not very loud, but forceful. 

Oh, and JUST NOW I had a first, quick, "where the fuck did that come from"-coughing fit.

Great. I have a horse to work tonight, who really needs the exercise. NOT the best timing for this, no.

Thanks, everyone!  

Still feel like I've been run over. Doped myself up on paracetamol so I could at least lunge horsey, but now I think I'm gonna give up for today and crawl into bed. Hopefully this will pass until tomorrow. I am so not in the mood for the flu.

Thanks guys. Yeah, I've been sick quite a bit this year. Sigh. I guess it's better to get this now than over Christmas when I have to spend time with family, though. 

Today's update: 

I'm definitely sick. Woke up this morning and could only breathe through one nostril. The other was completely stuffed up, but as soon as I started moving around so did the congestion. I stifled the first sneeze (pinched my nose to make sure it really was stifled, lately I've failed at it more often than I used to) because my cat was sleeping next to me and I didn't want to scare him. He woke up anyway of course, and started meowing like he does when he gets concerned about me. I sat up, rubbing my nose, but that annoying tingle wasn't going away. I bent over and sneezed into cupped hands, a really wet, spraying sneeze, like "EISSSHHHoo!" Still felt like I needed to sneeze, but it wasn't coming out. Mr Cat kept meowing so I had to actually, verbally, assure him I was okay before he let me be. I felt like crap though, soaked in sweat, but as soon as I got out of bed I was freezing! Took one of the blankets from the sofa and swept around me when I went out to the kitchen and fed the cats. Didn't feel like eating anything myself though, so I took my laptop and sat down in the sofa. Haven't really done anything except sitting here and feeling stuffed up, achy and feverish. Haven't sneezed more, but I keep feeling like I might at any moment. And I have a headache that comes and goes throughout the day. Bleh!

I don't think my fever is high enough to call this "flu", because I've had the flu and that's like being 3/4 dead, and I feel miserable but I can still function, you know? My throat is sore, but not "razor-blade" sore, and I only cough a little. Then again, I still gargle salt water daily, so maybe that prevents it from getting too bad. I don't know. 

Anyway. That's been my day. Currently curled up watching "Mindhunter" on Netflix and eating chips. I can still taste them, which is awesome!

[Linamil]

Hope you start to feel better those sneezes sounded like they were really good sneezes even tho they prolly were not at the best time.
