Before this school year started, I rarely got sick. I mean it. It never mattered who was sick around me, I never got anything. My family would jokingly cough on me. Nothing. Mini and her father would come home sick. Nothing.
All that changed this school year. I've been sick twice already! It certainly doesn't help that the weather has been insane. It's 45 one day and 70 the next. At night, we have already hit the 30s. I'm freezing when I go to bed, but boiling when I wake up. All this is a perfect storm for getting sick.
The biggest thing that is bothering me at the moment is that I have yet to go pumpkin or apple picking yet. I'm so incredibly disappointed! The first two weeks of school I was dealing with something emotionally that led to my lack of sleep. The next two weeks, I was sick. By the time my cold was gone, I had sprouted a new wisdom tooth. However, this new tooth came in both impacted and infected. Let me tell you how much fun that was! After being in ridiculous pain for a week (the pain spread to the side of my head and was causing migraines and facial swelling), I went to the dentist and begged him to pull it. After that, I was on meds for the pain and the infection plus a soft-food-try-to-have-mostly-liquids diet. When I was done with the meds and my gums had healed, I got sick again.
In short, I have gotten NOTHING accomplished since school started. Still.
I have always loved the Fall. I love the changing leaves, the excuse to bust out my extensive sweatshirt collection, more reasons to drink coffee during the day, pumpkin bread/muffins/cake/cupcakes, football and basketball starts... You get the idea. This Fall, however, has not been my friend. I hope things will start to look up in the coming weeks. I hate being sick!
How is YOUR Fall going?
I had the flu nearly two weeks ago. I don't get sick but this year I thought I would get a flu shot and it jacked up my immune system. Never again!! I don't have seasons anymore living in Texas. I miss seasons. If there's one thing I loved about growing up in the midwest, it was the fall. Hang in there!!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it crazy that the thing that's supposed to KEEP us from getting sick is the thing that ruins it for us? Modern medicine, my tuckus!
DeleteLast year we had this bizarre winter. We only went into the 30s a few random days. We got one dusting of snow one day and that was it. That pissed off my daughter more than I though. Lol.
I'm with ya on the Fall temps! I love my sweats and hoodies! Oh, and I can't forget my boots! However, I hate the colds that come along with it, usually. Hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteI already am. I am pumping myself up with Emergen-C and working out to sweat out toxins. I don't know if that works, but it seems legit :)
DeleteWe just moved to Texas and were still in shorts two days ago. Weird! Anyways, found you over on cafemom, and following you!

Thanks for the follow :)
DeleteThe temps were in the 60's last weekend and I couldn't believe it. I wore a light long-sleeve shirt out shopping and ended up rolling up the sleeves. Crazy!
