phlegm

i mistakenly thought i was sick during my last post.. but apparently that wasn't really anything even remotely close to how sick i'm feeling now. i hate sick. i can't even remember the last time i was sick. so i just thought i'd blog about it so that next time i feel this crap, i'll know exactly when it was last that i was feeling this way.

i haven't really been eating. i don't ever remember not eating when i'm sick. i always eat. yesterday, i was coughing till my head hurt and sneezing until i thought i ripped something in my belly. today not so much - yet. just the general, "did anyone get the plate of that truck that hit me?" feeling. oh.. and a fever? i've been getting chills but my kids can't really tell if i have a fever or not, they reach for my forehead as if i've asked them to reach into a bowl of worms. "you look so germy mom!" their hands feel amazingly cool though.

i got up after 12pm today. i don't remember the last time i did that either. that was actually the second time i got up. i got up the first time before 7 so that i could take the kids to school. i barely remember doing that but they are not here and i'm alone at home so i'm assuming that the trip was successful. that can't be healthy. spending 1.5 hrs on the road but without recollection of it.

i'm glad my throat isn't sore. just a lot of phlegm. i think i just wanted to be able to type that word. phlegm. phlegm. phelgm. mmmm yummy phlegm. PHLEGM. i think i'm in love with this word. phlegm. did i just say that? my head is spinning and i keep on staring at the screen wondering if this is making any sense. up until the phlegm part i think it did anyway. phlegm (i just wanted to type that word again). it looks funny now. i just 'dictionary.com-ed' it cuz it suddenly doesn't even look like a word. did i spell it right? indeed i did.
