I’ve been slacking off on posting anything on my blog again… I’m sorry. At least I have a decent excuse for it: I’ve been sick. What I thought was just a post-birthday hangover developed into a sinus cold. No, I’m not going to post any photos of my week of being sick… but this sums it up nicely:
Yep, I annihilated a box of tissues. I don’t even know why I kept blowing my nose… nothing was coming out. Stupid sinuses. Luckily, I found an opened box of Sinex that had made its way over the ocean with the rest of our household goods. It’s been doing its job, but what I really want is some good ol’ NyQuil. I couldn’t find any at the BX (although I found some DayQuil), and Andrew couldn’t find any at the commissary. Sigh.
I can’t really think of an up side of being sick. I was less productive than usual at home. I did go for a run on Wednesday. In the rain. In retrospect, maybe running in the rain with a sinus cold was a bad idea. Darn it. I still managed to cook dinner every night, but now we have a lot of leftovers since my appetite has been low.
I’m hoping this gets out of my system really quick, because we have a visitor coming! Yep, our first American visitor is flying in Sunday morning. My friend Emily has been saving money from her first post-college job to come visit. I was so impressed that she did it so quickly! Guess who has been sick last week as well? Yep, Emily. We might be quite the pair during her visit if we’re not feeling better! We are two tough girls though… we’ll just have to medicate and bring a box of tissues on all of our outings. 🙂
