Days 20 and 21: The Curse of the Five Year Old's Germs

I'm sick.  I knew it was coming, I did.  My girl came home sick over a week ago, and I just knew it was coming for me.  I should have just licked her and got it over with.  But no, I had to go overboard with vitamins and Airbourne and do everything in my power to fight it off.  But the inevitable happened, and now I am sick.  And not like sniffles and a slight cough kind of sick.  I am fevered, I have razor-blade throat, I'm congested but also snotty, and I feel like my head is about to explode.  Often I feel dizzy.  Not the sort of thing you need one week before showtime.  Plus, I have the broken back, so I now need to choose between back pain medication and degongestants. Very tough call.

I spent most of the weekend in bed (well, on the floor, actually) and I think that helped a great deal.  But I still feel like a big bag of shite.  So I shall finish off my hot toddy, brush my teeth, and try to sleep with my mouth open.  I haven't had anymore scary phone calls or messages, so I'm thinking (hoping) that the worst is behind me.  I don't really believe that, but I am hoping for it.  After all, what do we have, if we don't have hope?  A whole lot of nothing, that's what I think.  Sweet dreams!
