Ugh

It just doesn't stop.
Whether it's my whining *grins* or stuff that makes me whine, I dunno.

I stopped taking the antibiotics Friday. I immediately started showing symptoms of the cold that's been making it's way around the family. Yesterday I stayed away from the computer, in the living room, where it was cooler. I was doing some repairs to my antique lace dress, in hopes of maybe wearing it out to curses_boston I had a potential loan of the money to get in, and the promise of a drink NOT purchased by me.

Til I started making phone calls and realized how crappy I really felt. I decided to stay in, it's totally for the best, really. Over the next couple of hours I found out most of the boxed type instant type food I'd been hoarding is WAY OLD, and shouldn't be eaten. I made the only box that wasn't too old, fettuchini Alfredo, that wasn't half bad at ALL, and watched some TV. I drank a couple of cups of tea, which DID do wonders thanks feline, and I plan on drinking enough of it today to make me barf tea. I have enough that I could drink different kinds all day, I just wonder if I can find the tea ball I know I have.

This was the plan, til the power went out.

So I sat in the dark for a while, then went for my candles when it was obvious that the power wasn't coming right back on. Found the candles, and after a bit of searching, a battery powered radio teh Unit had hidden. I was thinking about reading and listening to the radio, but it became obvious my head was pounding too much. I decided to go ahead and go to bed. I shut off everything I could think of, unplugged my computer in case of a surge and laid down. To Not Sleep. *sighs* Between the guy who was obviously banished from his house due to his coughing and hawking up crap (I screamed at him to stop doing that directly in front of my window, I mean HOW NASTY, kinda like it was OK, since he was outside, to spit everywhere. I've been making the same noises today, but only when I'm CHOKING on phelm. I think THAT'S ok, but just not because you're fucking bored, ok!)

I know I didn't sleep much, but I woke up very suddenly when everything came back on about an hour later. Which, fortunately, was RIGHT before a new, and very important plot wise, episode of InuYasha. And I got to flush the toilet (all that tea had made a difference!) I ended up awake for a while longer then back to sleep. I didn't sleep for more than four hour stretches tho, and am exhausted now.

I worry about the one or two still kinda open wounds in my mouth, and all my coughing. I fear getting an infection. Plus today I really need to dress and get out of the house, and get some food and juice. And gas, although I might not do that, if I get a check tomorrow I'll have plenty of money for gas.

There's a cup of tea with my name on it I think, then I need shower, then to the store. Maybe I'll turn in my bottles and change too. Hmmmmmm.
