So back to enjoying the wonderful days off from work... yeah right. So Thursday was a wonderful day off handing out resumes, and then everyone getting together at my papa Jims house for a family dinner. My mom got off work and her Lori and I started cooking. Steak, Grilled chicken, mashed potatoes, green beans, corn on the cob, salad, rolls, and my famous brownies ;) ! sam, karen, papa jim, lori ann, aunt laurie, and uncle mike all joined and it was great wo have everyone there to just hangout with papa jim for a while. Afterward Laure and Lori got papa Jims internet fixed! The next morning I woke up feeling completely awful, i couldnt hardly get out of bed. I took some benadryl and slept through the whole day finally waking up around 9:30. Deciding I better get something to eat since I hadnt all day I decided to get my mom to go to the store with me. After we checked out, came home, and were done unpacking I noticed we were missing the bagels I had bought to eat with some yogurt. We got back in the car and rove back up there to get them, what a hassel when i dont feel well. However, i ate some of the bagel and yogurt took some nyquill and went back to sleep.
Saturday came and I felt even worse I woke up in cold sweats, freezing but sweating, coughing, my whole body ached, headache, sore throat, the works. I try and pull it together because I was supposed to work at 6 that night. I grabbed a shower (at which I couldnt breath after about 10 minutes) through some clothes on and went with my mom to mercadoes for lunch trying to blow off whatever it was i had. We get to mercadoes and I cant eat anything, just dont have the stomach to hold any food. Afterward I went home tried to throw on a little makeup to look somewhat desent to see will since i hadnt seen him since thursday. By the time I get up to carinos I am really sick with a fever, cold, and practically dripping in sweat. He told me not to stop anywhere and go directly to the doctor. So I did, and sure enough I've got bronchitis. So I call in sick to work get the medicine and go home. Around 7ish My mom made me some toast trying to get me to eat something (by the way I had already lost 4 pounds). Plus I have to eat with the medicine because i will normally get sick and nauseated from it. I eat almost 2 peices of toast to get the medicine down. I read the directions and Always look at the side effects. I told my mom I would get the side effects! She said I was just like my papa jim and gma kay! and sure enough a hour and a half later I get the abdominal cramps, diarrhea, and nausea. So Sunday comes and still facing the side effects I call into work again. Today is monday and I am finally starting to feel like I can get out of bed, and move around. I am supposed to work tomorrow and get my hair done that will had gotten for me for my birthday. He said I can go get my hair done, but we will see about me going to work tomorrow! as much as I am "enjoying" this break... I'm ready to get outta the house!
