Getting Sick

I felt it hit about two hours before I got off work, all at once.<br />Burning sensation in my nose/sinus/ roof of my mouth. Roof of my mouth felt dry too.<br /><br />By quitting time my ears felt like they were plugging up and I could feel the start of a sore throat.<br />Now, three hours later I can feel the lymph nodes along side my throat are swollen up, it's hard to swallow and painful, oh yeah, it's coming.<br /><br />Fuck me, just what I need.<br /><br />Without fail, every time I get a head cold the motherfucker heads straight to my chest and lingers for weeks.<br /><br />Sonofabitch.<br /><br />I'm going to bed.<br />It may be a bit quiet tomorrow, depends on how hard my ass is getting kicked by an invisible bug and his buddies.<br /><br /><br />Update/Next day.<br /><br />Ah, yeah.<br /><br />I woke up a few minutes ago, fifteen minutes before I was supposed to leave for work.<br /><br />That ain't gonna happen today.<br /><br />Called the boss already.<br /><br />I have a splitting headache, sore throat, stuffed up sinuses and feel like I have been through a cycle in a tumble dryer.<br />My lovely wife sprang into Mommy/Nurse mode and started running around gathering her concoctions and forcing them on me by the handful.<br /><br />Bufferin, echinachia, Halls sore throat lozenges, Vitamin C, some other Horse pill sized fucking thing called Cold Ease and there is a bottle of generic Nyquil, my personal favorite, sitting here next to the bed. <br /><br />I told her that when she goes to the store that I want some good old Plop Plop, Fizz Fizz Alka Seltzer Plus, some real aspirin and a small drum of real Nyquil.<br /><br />That Nyquil is the shit man.<br />The little shot glass cup they have on the top goes flying immediately and I tip it up and take a couple of large swallows.<br /><br />Blessed uninterrupted sleep follows along shortly after that.<br /><br />I hate being sick, it sucks donkey balls.
