On Monday morning, I toss and turn in the early hours as I often do but this time, I find that my stomach hurts. It's not typical nausea for me (I'm nauseous a lot of the time) so I'm super weary of going into work. I have to go, of course, but I ask my manager who is supposed to come in at 3 if she'd be able to come in any earlier. She was still in DC, though, about 4 or so hours south. By then, the stomach achiness turned into body aches and a ton of sinus pressure. Whaddya know! I'm slammed with a cold. In July. I manage to get through the day until my boss comes in at 2:30 and despite the fact that I was scheduled to stay until 5, I bid adieu and booked it out of there. I've been pretty much house-ridden ever since. Luckily I had Tuesday and today scheduled off. I'm not looking forward to returning to work tomorrow and working 27 hours in 3 days. It should be interesting.

I hate colds. They are the worst. Ear pain, throat pain, general inability to close my mouth because I can't breathe out of my nose. Just plain ick. Make it stop.
