I have caught something nasty. As in, I can't cough without holding on to something because it hurts so bad. My head hurts, my throat hurts, and sleeping is hit or miss. On top of everything else, it is the busiest time of the year at work, and I'm trying to convince my current boss that he should keep me in the promotion he gave me when my old boss got fired. I've been to the doc, and he told me to take claritin, robitussin and tylenol. Which did nothing. Finally convinced my baby doc that I'm miserable, so she prescribed cough syrup with codeine so I can at least sleep. It kind of works. And I don't like that it makes me feel woozy.

Poor baby girl has got to be getting knocked all over the place with all of this coughing, and I can't imagine that the cough syrup is her favorite - I keep having visions of the scene from Look Who's Talking when they give Kirstie Ally the drugs and the baby starts tripping.

I would give anything to feel normal right now. I haven't been this sick in about 8 years, and I am so incredibly miserable. I can't believe it's happening now. Sorry for the whine....
