pity party

I am not feeling well. Fever, wracking cough, congestion. And I have a really busy week, including getting ready for the onslaught of siblings on the weekend.

Lucky for me, Zach is pretty mellow. He did his morning thing at 6:45 today, and I fed and watered him right away in the crate. After eating and having some water, he eventually fell asleep until 10:30 a.m. Poor guy. That's not right for him, and he's out of his routine. I can't blame him for the couple of accidents this morning. They wouldn't have happened if I was feeling up to snuff, and though I'm grateful to have it, the Little Green Machine isn't easy to operate when you feel the way I do.

I'll stop complaining now, take some aspirin, decongestants and expectorants, and take the mutts to the beach for a nice long walk. Then maybe we can all have a long afternoon nap after I down some delicious home made chicken soup loaded with garlic.

I can hope, can't I?

Last I heard, doctors had not yet learned how to cure the common cold, so I really don't see the point of going to the local doc-in-the-box when antibiotics aren't going to do squat for me. I'll see my wonderful physician on Thursday. And I'll call her if I feel significantly worse, or start coughing up colorful stuff. I promise.

Yeah...unfortunately the stuff going around now is viral, so antibiotics are just a waste of medicine.

With that said, however, there are some steroids out there that, if you are really fighting a killer virus, will kick your immune system up a notch. If your fever starts spiking bad, you might want to look in to getting a shot in the bootata to help things along.

Feel better, sweet lady.
