ew.

This was my day/night. Yay.

I pretty much never get sick, so when I am, I tend to flip out a little. I've never had the flu before, and I'm really, really hoping I don't have it this time. I feel incredibly achy though and just all around blah. Ughhh. I started a new freelance job yesterday that is requiring a lot of my time. And considering I couldn't even bear to look at a computer screen all day, I'm going a little crazy. Thankfully, I felt a bit better tonight (Tylenol Cold is seriously my best friend. In. Love.) and managed to get my hours in. But now it's late and I should be sleeping, so I can get better. Well really, it's still quite early for me.

It doesn't help that the pups woke me up at 5:00 a.m. this morning and that every time I cough, Mitzi licks my face (ew). Or that she thinks it's OK to stand on me when I'm sound asleep. Or that Cissy has the most high-pitched bark ever that feels fabulous on my already feeling like it's being crushed by a million boulders head, and chooses to bark for absolutely no reason all day long.

All I had to eat today was toast and some soup. I felt like I could maybe eat some oatmeal later, so I threw some in my duffel on my way to my aunt's house. As I was working, I noticed Mitzi being particularly quiet, so I went in the kitchen and there she was with oatmeal all over her face and the floor. I wish I thought to take a picture. However, I wasn't really in the mood for her shenanigans, cute as she might have looked.

Pretty much how she looks at me 24/7:

Ugh. I swear, the flu makes me want to curl up and die. I've avoided it so far this year--knock wood.

Hope you feel better soon!

Yug. Feel better dearie! Eat some fresh grapefruit and oranges and you'll be feeling better in no time! Also try some of that Zicam stuff--my mother-in-law who is a nurse swears by it.

At least you have the Pooch to keep you company!

Such cute pet pics - although I have problems with pets in general since the day I went to a friend's house, played with her cat and ended up having some reaction to my contacts and had to go into work the next day looking like cyclops - i had a normal sized eye and one that was a puffy slit. it wasn't pretty! but i hope you are feeling a bit better now. i've never had the flu either so wouldn't know how to cope.

Awww...that's funny with the oatmeal (although I when I'm all drugged out on the Tylenol family of cold products, I'm much less likely to think so!)

Hope you feel better!
