Last weekend I got the bug up my ass to do some Spring cleaning.
You know...washing windows, deep cleaning the linoleum floors, shampooing the carpet, doing baseboards, blah blah blah.
I even took the bug to my car and cleaned it inside and out. Did I ever tell you about my new car? No? Yeah. Sorry. I'll get there.
Anyway, I started feeling weird on Saturday and then on Sunday woke up definitely feeling...off. I continued about my chores with the finishing up the Spring cleaning and stuff.
Monday I woke up dead. Okay, obvs not dead. But I don't know what the heck has hit me! Last week my left ear was all clogged up and my right eye was red and swollen.
I think it was a foreshadowing of whatever has taken over my head this week.
It hurts to swallow. Although not like strep throat hurts when you swallow.
My ears feel funny and are plugged up sometimes. My nose is stuffy. And what's most prominent is fatigue. I think I had a fever the first couple days, but low grade because my head wasn't spinning or anything.
But every night I go to bed and think, "Please God, let me sleep tonight." Because I've been going to bed, going to sleep for about 2 hours and then waking up and tossing and turning all night long. Stupid NyQuil isn't holding up its end of the bargain!
Maybe that's why the tiredness. I haven't slept more than 2 hour chunks at a time since Saturday.
When I look in the mirror in the morning, which I honestly try never to do, it looks like someone beat the crap out of me when I was sleeping! You know, in that 15 minute time period? Swollen right eye (still) and 2 bitch stitches in the middle of my forehead! Ack!!
And now? Some sort of stomach issue. I'm not going into detail. But we all know stomach issues can be...well...crappy. Ha!
At least I still have a sense of humor, right?
How have you all been?

Better than you. Hope you feel better soon.
And doesn't it just figure, when you need the sleep, you can't get the sleep.
Oh no! I hope you don't have the hellacious flu like I had. There is so much nastiness going around. Get some sleep!!!
Ick, I'm sorry!! Hope you feel better soon!
Ugh. That is terrible! See...no good can ever come from cleaning!
Feel better!
Did you breathe in a bug while cleaning? Get one in your eye, mouth or ear?
I have a problem that's lasted about 20 years or so. I'm fine when I go to bed but halfway through the night I wake up and the right side of my throat is burning, it hurts to swallow, my noses is stuffed and my right ear hurts.
It lasts for days and absolutely sucks!
Bummer dude!!
Nyquil always works for me. Sometimes I take it even when I'm not sick.
Feel better!
Wait...You didn't tell us about your new car.
Girl go to the doctor! No one should be that miserable
Oh man!! That sucks!! Hope you're feeling better by now! Could it have been some of the cleaning supplies you used?
xo
oh dear! hope you feel better soon!!! at least your house is clean!
I just miss your face so much! Even if it does look like it got beat up. Only since this post is 5 days old, hopefully you are doing better. Chicken soup. Dang I wish I lived closer!
Oh, man! Your sleep sounded just like mine last week. I hope you're feeling better!!! Maybe you're allergic to cleaning? I'm pretty sure I am.
