Sickness is a Biatch

I was feeling normal until I got out of the shower this morning. I had this urge to sneeze but nothing came out. The deep innerpart of my nose was getting tingly. I was dressing up for work and then Oh crap! My nose started to run. I ran to blow my nose and just as I thought clear mucus on the tissue. I then started to sneeze constantly. What's going on? But - I should be so fresh and so clean? [Sidenote: I'm allergic to dust]. On and off, I was interrupted with a running nose so I had to go the bathroom frequently to just blow it all out. My nose was still tickly. I think at that time I already knew - I'm getting a cold. Can I say I hate colds. I'd rather be at home with a stomach flu than have the common cold. It makes your nose all raw. You have to buy the tissue with aloe vera lotion. I hate the phase when your nose runs constantly for 2 days. Then after that you have loogie throat and snots. Then after that, the skin outside of you nose is all dry and cracky (lotion will never cure it!). Anyway - I didn't have any tissue in the truck when I left to drop off EJ to school and go to work. Luckily, there was a roll of paper towel in the back. I used that until I got to Walgreens. After Walgreens, I decided to fill myself up with Vitamin C. I went to Jamba to buy a 16 ounce of freshly squeezed orange juice. When I got to work, I immediately downed that sh!t (with a straw). Yuck! I usually LOVE orange juice but my tummy was empty. I didn't eat breakfast yet. I feel so acidic. I wish I was able to call in sick today. Unfortunately, I can't. 1.) My boss is out on vacation. 2.) I have a quarter-end close that starts today 3.) I have an A/P check run 4.) Have to be here for last minute disposition questions for a property that's going to close escrow tomorrow 5.) Basically, I have hella sh!t to do. Man. If I was at home, I'd plug up my nose with tissue just like a tampon and change it every 30 minutes or so. All I can do is pray that this cold go aways with a quickness. The only thing I'm looking forward to is the sexy flem voice just like Phoebe Buffet of Friends. Time to change my greeting message on my voicemail soon - YES!

"Smelly Cat, Smelly cat what are they feeding you? Smelly Cat, smelly cat it's not your fault... They won't take you to the vet. You're obviously not their favorite pet. You may not be a bed of roses, And you're no friend to those with noses. Smelly cat, smelly cat what are they feeding you? Smelly cat, smelly cat it's not your fault!"

p.s. Thanks Irene for getting me sick. You're the best sister in the world! [hella sarcasm right now]
