No Zoolander for me today. I probably could have gone out, however, I called Carol this morning and gave her the option since I didn't know if she'd want to get exposed to my cold. We went back and forth on the phone a couple of times, and finally decided it was best if we cancelled the entire outing. While this morning it sounded like a good idea to go, I'm glad I cancelled out 'cause I went back to sleep and just woke up again a few minutes ago, and the rest probably did me some good, although I'm sicker today than I was yesterday...
However, I think I'm improving... this is one of those fast-moving colds (according to one of my friends who got it on Monday and was rid of it by Thursday), and since I felt it coming on Friday, I'm hoping that by late tomorrow it will be over with... I'm thinking that right now I'm in the process of getting rid of all the built-up congestion, etc.
Rem is being a very good boy and is respecting my need for "distance" right now. I think he can tell I don't feel well, so when I scratch his ears and ask him to go back and lay down or go play, he has not been pushing it (by trying to climb in my lap, etc). Normally, my allergies don't bother me a whole lot where he is concerned, but whenever I have anything else going on "respiratory" - the allergies usually kick into high gear and make things worse.
I do need to get out at some point this afternoon and go either to the grocery store or PetsMart and get some cat food. I didn't realize how close I was to being out until I checked his feeder today. Worse case scenario is that I stop by the store on my way home from work tomorrow. He's still got one or two days left, but I'm trying not to let myself procrastinate about the small stuff these days. Erg.. I just remembered, I need to get gasoline too. I noticed that at 1 a.m. when I was going to Kroger to get cough syrup last night. Yes, I was in the grocery store at 1 a.m., I purchased cough syrup, cough drops, AlkaSeltzer cold liquid gels and sugar cookies. (I have trouble denying my sweet tooth when I don't feel well). The sugar cookies are now gone, the cough syrup worked really well, as are the cough drops, however, the jury is still out on the AlkaSeltzer liquid gels... I took at set this a.m. at 9:30 (I had already medicated myself with ibuprofen and Benadryl last night, and needed to let those wear off before I took anything else), and although I don't feel horrible, I can't tell that they're really doing anything. I might switch back to the Benadryl, since I know that will clear me up.
Now that I have bored you with my medical exposition, I shall stop writing for a while. I imagine I'll post more later. It seems, in looking back over my entries, that it is definitely more likely that I will post multiple times on the weekends, and then nothing during the week. I think this is probably due to the fact that my job sucks all my brain cells out through my ears during the week and I have no intelligence left with which to post (of course, whether or not I have the intelligence to post on the weekend might be questioned by some).
Ciao for now.
