snippy has jetted off to a convention in San Diego, leaving me alone to live the bachelor lifestyle this weekend. Ordinarily this would be where I utter that resounding cry of temporary bachelors everywhere--"I"ll be up to my knees in donuts and whores!"
Instead, I struggled thru two hours of work today, concluded that I was simply too sick and brain-fogged to accomplish anything, and went home. No doubtsnippy is glad to be elsewhere; I disturbed her sleep the last two nights with coughing (though not my own--I had no idea until she told me), which was apparently the first sign of my impending ill health. The only good news is that it isn't a cold, it's my sinuses. Which means I'm not contagious despite the coughing. Pounding sinus headache, stuffy nose and slightly sore throat and cough occasioned by post-nasal drip. It's annoying and uncomfortable, but it could be worse.
After bailing out of work, I stopped at the grocery store on the way home and stocked up on comfort foods so I wouldn't need to leave the house this weekend if I didn't feel up to it, then got home, dosed myself with Ibuprofen and Sudafed and went to bed for about four hours. It was one of those restless sickbed naps, but I did sleep, which is good. I finally got up and made myself a very late lunch.
Then I sat on the couch in a drug-and-clogged-sinuses-dulled stupor, too uncomfortable and low energy to even spend time netsurfing. I used up the Tivo, watching a marathon of Law & Order, Boston Legal, ER, and Smallville. By then I was hungry again, so I had a late dinner. I continued to gulp down Ibuprofen and and Sudafed every four hours, washing them down with alternating glasses of water and Pepsi One (yeah, yeah, I know).
I had plans for tomorrow evening. For a while I didn't think I'd be in any shape to go out, but right now (about 12:53 a.m.), I'm feeling okay. Most recent drug dose is two hours in the past, with two hours to go til the next one. I"ll be going to bed shortly, hoping to get to sleep before it wears off. Another day of rest and medication and I think I can probably manage to get out tomorrow night and enjoy at least some of my brief bachelorhood.
