the human body is gross and badly designed
Apr. 3rd, 2019 01:14 pmYesterday morning I woke up feeling fine. By the time I left work at 1pm, I was getting a little sniffly and had the start of a sore throat. By 6pm, despite having taken a four-hour nap, I had a full-blown knock-me-flat cold.
And then at midnight I woke up to go to the bathroom and discovered my period had started. Which I knew was probably going to happen -- I had it marked on my calendar and everything -- and somehow I'd still forgotten.
*headdesk*
So today I am exhausted, my nose and ears are clogged shut, I have no voice, and I have cramps and general overheated unpleasant feelings in my abdomen.
Also I have to work at Not the IRS from 4 to 9pm. I don't think there's anyone who can cover if I call in sick.
...
I'm going to take another nap and then hope VERY LOUDLY that I don't get any walk-in clients.
And now, if you'll excuse me, I am going back to sleep.
---------------
ETA, 10pm: I got about one hour of (very welcome) sleep, and slogged successfully through work despite having two clients. I also bought a few groceries before clocking in, and have now finished dinner and intend to, once again, collapse into bed and return to sleep.
Good night!
