How was your weekend?
Posted by Plaidman on May 19th, 2008
My weekend was interesting, thanks for asking.
On Friday I had to cut my workday short due to lack of energy. I’d been feeling the effects of a nasty cold since late Tuesday. I missed a goodbye party for a co-worker and a movie with other co-workers. Towards the end of the day, I started feeling severely dehydrated - really high fever, headaches, dizziness, the works. Around 9:30 I went into the basement where it was cool, and drank a gallon of water. Started feeling better around midnight, then went to bed. I have a new appreciation for water.
Saturday I was feeling much better, so I went out and ran a few errands and did a few things to start cleaning the house for my sister’s rehearsal dinner. At 9 I went to watch the guys play soccer (I hated not being able to play), then we hit the bar as normal. Looking back, I probably should not have gone, but I’m glad I did, ’cause I got to play a few games of euchre with some strangers from another table. Unfortunately, we were seated at a smoking section, which, again, probably wasn’t the best for my current health situation. Especially since the smoke smell infused itself in the mucus caking my lungs and nasal passages so every time I blew my nose or coughed, I would get that wonderful cigarette fragrance. YUCK!
Sunday I tried to get rid of some of that mucus so I picked up a thing of Mucinex on a recommendation. Unfortunately the side-effects of this particular drug (nausea, headaches, vomiting) hit me pretty hard. I didn’t hurl, but I had to summon all of my limited iron-stomach powers not to. I won’t be finishing the bottle - the side-effects are certainly worse than the symptoms it cures.
How was your weekend? How much water have you drunk today?

1) I LOVE the regular posts. Much better then the whole never posting thing.
2) Thanks for cleaning for me.
3) Next time you want to go somewhere after the soccer game when you are sick, why don’t you get everyone to go to a cupcake factory? That way every time you blow your nose it’s delicious!

OMG I love cupcakes! Is there a factory near here?

I know. It’s a brilliant idea.

I’m sorry the Mucinex made you feel that way….was that my idea.

I have noticed by the way you type that you are thin and not eating enough and dehydrated. Scoot home and eat a good dinner and drink plenty of water. Also medicine should always be taken with a piece of bread or something (that way you don’t get nausea), but you must know that now…right.
Also, Ann Arbor could use a cupcake shop if the programming thing doesn’t work for you… JK
