growl

Bad day already... I can feel it...
4 phone calls woke me up while I was trying to sleep- one from Boyfriend which I completely ignored and another which I picked up and got up after- and cat woke me up twice just to snuggle which I don't mind because I love our morning snuggle sessions

But my throat was KILLING me. I got up 4 times to get water and gargle. I was/am in SO much pain. And I remember taking my allergy meds last night so I don't think that's it. After an hour of sleep I actually felt so bad that I went and got a can of iced tea and gulped down the entire thing at once in hopes that the cold would numb the pain long enough to let me go back to sleep. Luckily, it did. But unfortuantely sleep didn't fix the problem. Could barely talk on phone when Boyfriend called a 2nd time. He didn't seem to notice. Just bragged about being done with grad school. Fuck him. LOL NOT what I needed to be reminded of this morning when I'm trying to finish up still.

Damn throat... growl... SO not fun. Why the hell do I do this to characters? LOL Poor characters *pets*

On a happy note, when I went to couch(read:bed) this morning I saw that the Goonies were on TV in front of me! YAY! So I stayed up a couple extra minutes in order to see a little of my sexy, yummy Joey Pants and I got to see Sean Astin's moving 'up there vs. down here' speech which always makes me feel good and laugh at the same time. PLUS they had a Matrix commercial during the movie's commercial break, which also has my Joey Pants in it also, so I was actually pretty happy when I finally fell asleep. Just wish I didn't feel like shit this morning. Yes, it's 3:30pm- that's morning, damnit. I didn't fall asleep until 9 and then I got up so many times... I just want to go back to sleep now...
But dinner's at 7:30 at the Ty place. Yay! Tofu and peanut sauce! Yummy yummy yummy yummy yummy...

EDIT: Fuck, now it's progressed to coughing, also. But on a good note- The Goonies are on TV again! YAY! heehee! Going to do laundry... I've no shirts to wear to dinner. Though if I keep getting chills and have to wear long-sleeves in 75degree weather I have some good shirts...

Awww, tg, that sore throat sounds pretty bad, and the coughing is no good. I suggest wrapping your Hufflepuff scarf around your neck, drinking lots of liquids, and getting some much needed rest. Maxwell might be able to serve as a furry heating pad, if he's willing to stay in one place for more than three seconds. If he's not, I say to enlist the boyfriend - bf can consider it payback for all of his taunting of late about graduating ahead of you.

And if that cough becomes productive, please promise you will get yourself to a clinic sooner rather than later. Some things should not be toyed with!

I think it's just allergies... just took 3 or 4 hours for the symptoms to go away but they did go pretty much. Still have a sore throat though. Gods I hate the spring. LOL But drinking a lot of liquids helps in either respect... and sleep is good... yes yes...
Ha! Maxwell only sits in my lap if I'm at the computer so he can half sit on me and half on the desk. Otherwise he lies on me only on top of the blankets when he's trying to roll around on his back and get petted. Either way, not the most helpful of heating pads. LOL But he's sleeping on my bed now and twitching with dreams so cutely I can't say anything bad about him right now, LOL!

Ug... clinic... life would be SO much easier if I was still a student... or had some form of health care... or preferably both of those. LOL

Poor tg...it's so much fun to read in characters but really sucks when it happens to us...funny how that works. *hugs tg*

I really hope that this passes as quickly as possible for you. The last thing you need is to feel like crud when everything is so busy and you're trying to finish up with so many projects and concerns. Keep up with your fluids (hot tea is particularly wonderful for your throat, as I've so recently experienced), and take time to cuddle up on the couch with the kitty and a good movie. I'll be thinking of you!

Thanks :-)
Methinks it's just the first really bad allergy night/morning I've had this season. I was hoping maybe it wouldn't happen but I can't imagine why I would be so hopeful as I'm supposed to be a realist LOL So it's just nature's way of telling me there won't be any more frosts (we got a couple last week) and to expect lovely nights of coughing and sore throats until fall. I almost wish it were just a simple cold... at least those go away in a week and give you an excuse to take it easy... LOL

Yeah... I think it's mornings/days like these that really make me never want to write another allergy fic again. Just too unpleasant. Lacks all that snuggly romance that colds have. Which is depressing both to me and my muses.

Baaaaaad sore throats. Yeah... it's impossible to get back to sleep with one- especially when there's coughing as well. You just want to keep drinking water and even that hurts... so you just want to sleep but you can't. Grrrr.
But thank you *hugs back*

And it's okay... I know you did mean it in fun... was just hard seeing it like that, is all. I just encountered a lot of anti-slash stuff yesterday and so that was sort of all I could take for one day. And everyone's pretty sensitive about their OTP by definition... so it just made me sad to see, is all. But, really, tis okay. No worries, all right? *hugs*
