I'm really a healthy person, I swear!

I never get sick this often. My immune system must just really be sucking lately. I don't get it. I'm eating better, taking supplements, exercising, doing all the things they tell you to do to keep your immune system strong and mine is just not serving me very well right now.

Yes, I'm sick, AGAIN! This time, it feels like a different animal. It started Tuesday with just a slightly scratchy throat when I woke up that lingered but didn't get worse or better all day. I took my standard immune boosting supplements after dinner and hoped that would at least shorten the duration. Yesterday, I woke up and it was even worse. I didn't have any sinus pressure or much drainage, but I definitely had the sore throat, a little bit of a headache and just generally felt drained all day. I couldn't do much more than lay on the couch. At least it was a running rest day. Today, I'm feeling even worse. I've got the sinus drainage going today, couldn't even speak more than a whisper when I first woke up, might have a slight fever and I'm just generally feeling like I've been hit by a bus.

My in-laws were up last weekend and my father-in-law in particular was coughing, sneezing and sniffling as he kept himself dosed up on OTC stuff. My mother-in-law swears it was just allergies, but as Chris pointed out to them, the last time they came up with something self diagnosed that was supposedly non-contagious, we all got sick the following week. In fact, she called on Tuesday to make sure we weren't sick, since Chris had mentioned that. That was the very day I first had a little scratchiness to my throat. This sucks!

As icing on the cake, the roofers are here today. So, if I didn't have headache when I first woke up, I'm going to have one for the rest of the day as they incessantly pound over our heads. At least it's only going to take one day. Better to get it over with, just sucks it's on a day I feel like total crap. The house is falling apart though. There's over 24 hours of dishes in the sink, 2-3 loads of laundry that need to be folded and at least another 2 loads that need to be washed. All the floors need to be done. I just don't know if I've got the energy today. Maybe if I just take it one little thing at a time and go slowly, I can at least get some things picked up around here.
