This past semester I have been very fortunate in not getting sick. THrough the school year, there were times when I started feeling ill, but recovered. However, around the last final of the last class of the last semester I will be in school, my immune system threw in the towel :mad:
Right now I have a really annoying head cold which prevents me from sleeping. This is particularly aggrivating because I’ll get up at 4 AM, unable to go back to sleep, and just putz around until its time to begin normal daily activities. This morning I have to go to work at 11 AM. That’s not for another four hours, but I feel really crappy right now. Calling in sick is not really practical because nobody wants to work the week before Christmas, plus I’ve already been off for the past 6 days and I really need the money. My work shift is very short, so right now I’m just thinking, “suck it up” though as you can imagine I am not looking forward to it.
Nothing I’ve taken this morning has given me any relief. I bought some Tylenol cold day/night pills yesterday, and either they are just sugar pills or I have developed a tolerance to them, because they have done NOTHING to help my congestion. I can’t sleep well at night because as soon as I lie down I have this overwhelming feeling of being suffocated. I really hope I’m in the worst of it right now, because I do NOT want to spend my Christmas vacation being sick :mad:
