So Monday night my throat started to feel scratchy.. by bedtime it was full on “I just swallowed a porcupine” mode. Tuesday, it got really bad. That night I was switching from sweating hot to freezing cold all night. That morning my throat felt better but I had the worst aches. I could barely stand up. Oh and I lost my voice too. We had Ken’s cousin Joel over to go to dinner and I sounded so horrible, I’m sure he thought I had the plague. While we were walking in the underground parking garage I felt like I was going to pass out a few times. Last night I got to sleep ok, but I woke up 3 hours later feeling like it had been a whole night, so I got up, had some more honey, took an advil and drank some water. I was really hot so I ended up watching Bloodrayne. What an awful movie. I thought it would be decent because it has a bunch of well known actors. Like Michael Madsen, Michelle Rodriquez, Ben Kinglsey, Billy Zane.. but it was horrid!

During the movie my nose started getting drippy and I went back to bed right after. I woke up at 11am when our guests arrived. I was hoping I would feel a ton better, and while I don’t have the massive aches like yesterday or the porcupine throat of Tuesday, my tongue feels about twice it’s normal size, I’m talking like I just went to the dentists office and my nose is even runnier. I really hope that no one else gets sick from this. Though our cousin, Michelle said she had pretty much the same symptoms. Maybe we got sick at the same time, but I haven’t seen her in over a week now.

Everyone went to lunch, but I chose to stay home because I’m not feeling that hot and struggling to breathe in public is not one of my favorite things to do. I don’t think I could eat right now anyway. Rogue is meowing his head off because he was SO tortured by having to hide from a 16 month old He’s such a drama queen! I’m just going to try to relax for a few minutes till everyone returns.
