Yesterday it rained and rained and rained. It was the wettest day I can remember. It wasn’t light rain either. It was heavy, driving rain. All day long. Rain, rain, and more rain. The temperature chilled down and everything was the worst it could be outside. People debate whether hell is freezing or flaming. There is a third option. Never ending driving rain, and that would be the worst of all.
In all this rain I discovered I was far sicker than I thought I was. I tried to do the grocery shopping and the one meeting I had and was mildly successful, but then when it came time to parent my daughter I failed. I spiked a 102 degree fever and went to sleep. I have no idea what havoc she caused while left to her own devises, but I was no use. I haven’t felt that bad in a very long time.
Later that night I ended up setting up a virtual appointment for today to see if I can finally get this thing knocked out of me. It went from allergies to an infection and now to a bacterial infection. I would very much like to be done with this and yesterdays rain didn’t help any either.
When all it does is rain it is hard to enjoy the weather. The streets were flooded, my socks were wet, and the very act of existing became torture. I took two hot showers yesterday trying to escape the cold and melt the mucus inside me. Neither worked. My fever caused me to sweat buckets simply sitting or laying down and I had little to no appetite.
Today there is more work to be done, and responsibilities at home. I have aches and pains all over my body and I am hopeful that this virtual appointment can knock prescribe something that will knock this out of me. I know they don’t like prescribing antibiotics because it goes a little scorched earth, but, at this point, I’d swallow napalm to feel better.
Even after napping yesterday and going to bed at 8:00 PM I am tired. I just want to lay back down, but I wouldn’t sleep, and I have work to do. Lots and lots of it. Earlier this year I lost focus and things suffered. I must always maintain focus. If I am not the engine that drives the train everything gets derailed.
