Still Sick

I have been sick for weeks. I could bore you with the minute details, but I won't. This morning, the morning I have woken up to leave NC with my husband and family, I have a sore throat that feels like someone has been tenderizing it while I slept and a sinus headache that, each time I cough the last bits of whatever bronchial infection has haunted me for the last 10 days, I feel like my head is going to explode in a painful burst.

Jealous?

Now we have a 7-hour drive ahead of us to Washington DC where we spend the night and then a 5-hour drive back to New York City. The past three nights I have dreamt of my cats which I take to be homesickness. My poor husband will be forced to do all the driving if I cannot and I can tell this idea is very depressing to him.

This may be the longest I have ever been sick in my life and I don't recommend it. I will be rushing in to see my Dr in NYC when I get there, believe you me. I have taken more Dayquil, Nyquil, Theraflu, Sudafed, Emergen-C, Airborne, chicken soup, vitamin water, tea and Riccola in the past two weeks than in the past year.

This blows.

I can't wait for my doctor to ask me, 'So, how long have you been feeling like this?' and I get to say, '3 weeks'. Then I can watch HER head explode.
