Ow My Sinuses

[xifeng]

Oh God we had this thunderstorm and the temperature dropped like 15 degrees (from the low 90s to 79 when I was driving home) and my skull is full of snot and I cannot stop sneezing and I'm breathing through my mouth and it's all so fucking horrible and the worst thing is I cannot call in tomorrow. Well I can but just because we can do something doesn't mean we should and it's only allergies, not contagion and plague or anything. I mean it's only going to be a four-day work week anyway.

So instead of doing anything useful or productive I spent my evening blowing my nose and looking at pictures of grilled cheese sandwiches on the Internet, which is arguably nutritionally better than eating a real one. Not that I can taste anything anyway.

Going upstairs to wash my face and pretend I have The Black Plague. Yay!

Sorry you don't feel well.

I feel you on the calling off work thing. I'm so completely miserable with this rash right now, I wish I could call off work today but there's no way. I'm brand new still so I'd probably get fired.

Thanks - doing better now :) I'm trying to bank my sick time for if I actually have a long doctor's appointment (too long to make up) and/or I actually get sick. If I'd been contagious, I'd have called in.

How's your rash doing now?

It seems like parts of it are not itching anymore, just the newer sections where it's spread to lower on my neck/upper chest area. But my skin is still all discolored where it's been and my glands that were swollen are not as swollen but now they're kind of sore. So...yeah. It feels like it's getting a little better. At least it doesn't feel any worse, so that's good.
