Still alive (barely)

Our apartment has turned into a giant germ factory. Both M & I are still sick and wallowing in misery. You know it's bad when M calls into work because he's actually sick (not a mental health day) - I can count the number of times on one hand that M has been sick since I met him nine years ago (he has one of those freakishly strong immune systems). He got out of bed at 8:00 this morning to call in and crawled back into bed afterward - I haven't see him since.

This is not how I envisioned spending my last week of break (classes start on Monday). I was supposed to hang out with various friends and was also planning to see a few movies. I've only managed to see one of the five movies I wanted to see over break (Milk is definitely worth seeing BTW).

On the positive side, I have lost four lbs in the last week, thanks to my diet of chicken noodle soup and clementines (the only things I've felt like eating). There has to be something good come out of this hell, right? :P

You poor thing. I feel so sorry for you and M.

Hope you get over this evil soon.

Are you at least getting some sleep?

Sorry your sick...it got me too, so I feel your pain. When you're feeling better, Slumdog Millionaire and Seven Pounds are both fantastic.

I've slept for about 7 hours the last two nights, thanks to a heavy dose of Tylenol PM and Afrin overnight spray... I think the insomnia is gone now, but I'm all doped up, so who knows? :)

Wishing you a speedy recovery--that's quite enough time being sick already. May the cold meds do their work quickly, and may your bodies heal up well.
