Sitting at my desk, eyes slamming shut, coffee is no longer helping. Apparently sleeping on the couch does not agree with me

I fell asleep on the couch last night. Dave left me there. I can't decide if he's sweet for letting me sleep or a butt for letting me sleep on the couch the whole night.

Dave to me last night: "This Alanis Morissette song is old enough to vote!" Me to Dave: "Not quite, but at 16 it's definitely old enough to complain about how much it sucks to listen to such an old song."

Lunch: lemon pepper chicken, leaf spinach, and asiago on whole wheat with mayo and honey mustard, bosc pear, crackers with garlic/herb cream cheese, and mint green tea. It sounds awesome, but apparently I'm still sick and can't really taste it (and am in fact not actuallly hungry).

Holiday meal consumed 3 hours ago. Meatloaf, mashed potatoes, glazed carrots, fried cabbage, and angel food cake with stawberries. I'm still so full that I run the risk of losing it all at practice =(

Valentines day is one of the three meatloaf holidays in my family. Mom made the heart shaped meatloaves (yes, there were more than one!) and I made the rest. Except the cake, I bought that. - FFing Enigma

Ah...okay. - Anika

Tomorrow is Valentines Day, wich means one thing in my family: HEART SHAPED MEATLOAF! You're only laughing because you've never had my mother's meatloaf.

Scrimmaged last night. Had committed to going 2 weeks ago and figured I was mostly well so I might as well sweat out the last of the plague. Except for wanting to puke the first 20 minutes it was all good until I did something funny to my knee during cool down laps. Now it's a little swollen and feels kind of numb. Weirdness!

Fishnets with socks ATTACHED? A roller girl's dream come true! $30 a pop for something that would last 3 months tops means I'm not likely to participate: 'tis much more cost effective to buy $30 worth of tights and socks in combination so that when one blows out I have backups... - FFing Enigma

There's a reason I go by 'Tina': so far as I can tell I'm the only person in the US with my actual first name. And three Es in my French middle name. Every year I could tell when the teacher got to my name on the roll, there was always a pause and a head tilt.

I woke up this morning and didn't feel inhuman! That's always my test for when I'm getting better: how do I feel after 8 hours with no medicine. I may go in to work for a few hours this moring. Or not. I have 10 minutes to decide...

Dear world: yes, I am sick. No, I have not been to the doctor and do not intend on going. Odds are good I have a viral infection and getting on anti-biotics will do exactly jack crap for that. My experience shows that rest, hydration, and OTCs for symptons have an extremely high success.

Alix, some doctors are very reluctant to hand out antibiotics, while others hand them out like candy. My experience is that I usually end up with a secondary infection, i.e. a bacterial sinus infection when I get sick, so the antibiotic almost always helps. - Jeff P. Henderson

I made a full pot of coffee when I woke up this morning, and then I took a 3 hour long surprise nap. Managed to get most of the coffee into the Thermos after the fact so it'll stay warm and drinkable for the rest of the day. #TheSickLife
