Sick. As. A. Dog........

I finally made it to the computer - been working off my blackberry while dying on the couch......I had to have a change of scenery, although I know it won't be long until I need to return to the "flat out" position on the couch. Took myself to convenient care last night around 8pm. I couldn't take it any longer - my throat hurt so badly, my ears even hurt. I had a banana and it burned all the way down. So, off I went. Luckily there was almost no wait and I was in and out of there in under an hour. Thank God for that. I don't think I could have sat up much longer, let alone drive myself home afterwards. I had a throat culture and it was negative. I just have some miserable virus that could last up to 10 DAYS!!!! Then the doctor told me I really needed alot of rest and should stay in bed for 2-3 days!!!! You've got to be kidding.....I have 3 little kids!! So I am trying to rest as much as I can today. Jack went to Wegman's and got everything I needed for the big birthday party tonight, came home and cleaned the house up, got the house semi-ready for the party, and made lunch for the kids. He just took them to a fishing derby that his company is having today, so I am going to try to get some rest and then take a shower, which, I am predicting, will completely wipe me out!! Now back to the couch for a while........
