I am so sick of being sick
Mar. 2nd, 2024 08:51 pmI begged off my (tiny, no appointments) shift at Not the IRS Friday evening, because I slept TERRIBLY on Thursday night, managing a total of only four hours despite lying in bed for a bit over nine hours. I kept almost drifting off and then jolting myself back awake with a coughing fit.
I did sleep much better Friday night (switched from soothing my throat with honey to gargling saltwater, which is both apparently more effective and less brutal on tooth enamel), but I am still pretty tired and plan to hit the sack early once more.
The cold is definitely thinning, but I still sound like a crow rasping through an old boot, I have a constant low-grade headache, and my respiratory system continues to produce upsetting quantities of goo. :(
Anyway, I had some interesting tax clients today, including
( obscured for an additional layer of anonymizing ) Which is a nice consolation prize for missing the concert, I guess?!
Tomorrow I think I will have the spoons to attempt some laundry. Am I going to wash everything that's built up while I have been languishing? Oh HELL no. But I think I can sort through and wash... hmm. Probably a load of all my underthings and socks, a load of some skirts and shirts, and a load of linens. That will leave at least two more loads' worth of dirty fabric, but that is a problem for future!Liz.
