sick and tired of being sick and tired

a few days after seb got sick a while back (late march) i got what he got. granted, i got a milder less mean version of it, that or i just handled it better because i'm under less stress and get more sleep than he does. while it wasn't a knock-me-down kind of sick, it was just annoying and draining enough to have me taking it easy for a few days. i finally got all cleared up though, no more runny/stuffy nose, no more sore throat. i had about 6 days break from being sick where i instead felt like cutting out my uterus to end the excruciating cramps (sorry to those who are now experiencing the internal cry of 'too much information!').

and guess what? now i'm sick again. started slowly last friday, as a sore throat that hurt like all get out, and has now become a coughing marathon. i'm not even that congested, it feels mostly in my trachea and throat, but it just doesn't want to budge. my ribs and stomach hurt from the coughing, i waver back and forth between being nauseous and just not hungry, and i'm completely exhausted. i have slept, it's the only break from coughing i get, but it doesn't feel like i've slept in days. i have to do the laundry today, and i fully expect it to wipe me out.

i'm ready to feel better now.
