Today is day 7 of The Sick.

First I got my tattoo and had the typical immune response of high fever and all of the sleepy, not-of-this-world unconsciousness that comes with a long sitting.

Then my throat swelled up and the nausea started. Pounded echinacea, vitamin C, garlic, elderberry, and holy basil. Subsided after 2 days. Thought I dodged a bullet.

Then the infernal drip drip drip. Zicam and more sleep. Forced myself to go to a wedding, which was a TON of fun, but the moment I came home and relaxed, BAM! full blown head cold.

I've been sleeping on the couch for a week. I've been next to useless for a week. I've been feeling progressively more irritated with my inability to do work for a week. Every time I look down, I get dizzy and nauseated. So.

Hopefully this is the last day? I am still on Zicam, and my ass is SO tired of this couch.
