Send the Waaaaaaaaaahmbulance!

Cookie Pusher · December 2014

Ugh, I'm sick. I woke up yesterday feeling a little off, and by lunchtime, I couldn't breathe through my nose anymore. It was bad enough that I went home early. I dosed myself up on Sudafed figuring I'd be fine today, but nope. The entire right side of my face is puffy and swollen, I still can't breath from my right nostril, and my eyes are watering like a spigot. I actually had to take a sick day - I hate using a full day of PTO when the office is closing early.

The Sudafed did nothing yesterday, DayQuil is doing nothing today. Someone send me puppies and chicken soup.

Poor baby. Hope you feel better soon. Are you going to see a doctor?

pinkcow13 · December 2014

Oh no!!!!! Get plenty of rest and drink some chicken noodle soup! Maybe you should go to the docs? And load up on vitamin C!

Here's a puppy!

Thanks, lady. I called the doctor this morning but they are booked solid today and said they likely won't be able to squeeze me in since whatever I have is going around. The nurse suggested Sudafed and lots of rest, which is pretty much what I did yesterday. I very rarely get sick, and this is the second cold I've had this year. I blame it on having to attend more corporate meetings for work since I rarely ever had to interact with folks in person before this year.

Oh no! I hope you feel better soon!

Dude. This stuff is nasty. I've been sick four times this year. I am NEVER sick. Whatever these germs are, they're f'n mutant germs. I'm debating going to the doctor as well. I've had this cold for 3 weeks now and I've got the green mucus. It's all ending!

Virtual hugs and soup and tea with honey coming your way!

Agree with mutant germs... I got strep throat this year. It lasted several days past my 10-day regimen of antibiotics. Finally shook it recently. WTF?

On the bright side you can shamelessly binge watch movies and tv shows.

Lady, make yourself a hot toddy and SLEEP. I always feel so much better after a hot toddy and some rest.

Ewww, the green mucus is the worst!! I'm not at that stage yet, and hopefully this will not reach it. I hate being sick, especially when there is so much to do!

Hot toddy ALL THE WAY! Germs this year are awful, I hardly ever get sick and I've gotten sick like three times in the last two months. Get some rest, I hope you feel better!

Also, puppy (and cat)

Cookie Pusher · December 2014

I have issues, y'all. I've been remotely logged in to work since I got out of bed. I washed dishes, made myself lunch, and cleaned up the living room. And now I've started the process of baking a cake. I event went to the store to by more tissues (I killed 2 boxes since yesterday).

Don't worry, it's a limoncello cake. The alcohol will kill any and all germs!

ETA: I also have gloves and one of those stupid masks on. Didn't bother with the hairnet today since my hair is in a braided bun anyway.

Cookie Pusher · December 2014

I felt a bazillion times better today! The DayQuil apparently did the trick, even though I got less than 5 hours of sleep last night. Unfortunately, the only luck I had was with my cold. I got hit by a deer (no, really, it hurtled itself towards my car and tore off my driver's side mirror) on our way to see the ILs this morning. Come on, 2015, you've got to be better than this!

Jen4948 · December 2014

Glad you're feeling better!

I'm spending the day in bed today. My sinuses have been killing me, and I've had a sinus headache on and off. H just left for the gym, so I have the house to myself for a little while. I've got my baby girl keeping me company, and Roseanne is coming on in a few minutes. I'm glad you're feeling better. I hope no one was injured from your run in with that deer.

theartistformerlyknownas · December 2014

Ugh deer are so stupid. I've been hit by one before. Bitch this is not Red Rover, you cannot run through my car.

Cookie Pusher · December 2014

I called the dealership this morning. $306 for the new mirror and housing, $60 for labor - and they won't get the part in until tomorrow. Totally not worth going through insurance for, but costly enough to be annoying. After all the Christmas bills, I may actually have to dip into savings to make sure I don't overdraw my account. What the fuck, Christmas, why you so mean to me?

Find a mirror on eBay or at the junk yard. My body shop installed it for me for the same $60 but I only paid $30 for the mirror.

We considered doing that, but with such a limited time-frame (we have a lot of driving around to do this weekend), we don't want to run the risk of buying a dud and needing to find yet another replacement. If it was a non-mechanical part, I would be fine, but I don't know if I want to risk it with the power mirror. The online places we've found it won't get it to us until next week, so that's just too long to wait.

Oh haha I drove around for like 6 months before I bothered fixing it. :-p

Honestly, if I didn't have the ridiculous commute to work that I do, it probably wouldn't be as big of a deal to get it fixed. I had no issues driving on the highway but on some of the large two lane roads on my way to work, people will randomly stop in the middle of the road to make a turn with no signals and I have to see if there is anyone in the other lane. If I change lanes into another vehicle, the accident would be my fault - and I'm trying to keep my driving record clean to counteract DH's terrible driving record!
