took a day off of work today, which i never do. slept all day and still exhausted. sent the boyfriend to the cvs to pick up the kind of cold medicine where they don’t put the boxes on the shelf- only pictures of the boxes. don’t they know i’m too sick right now to try and make meth?
anyway, after a day of shaking and drooling on my couch, i had promised a dear friend i would host an engagement party for her. which actually turned out really amazing… except for the part where it’s 2 am now, i’m like 3 mimosas in the bag (vitamin c!), and i have to do a polar dip in like 9 hours. oh, and i still kinda feel like death. fuck.
but i’m trying to write SOMETHING every day. although maybe i should just get my own yelling bird to fill in when i’m a wreck (which lately is often).

Wow, you’re amazing to still be posting, let alone the polar dip! Feel better soon. Loving the post frenzy!
thanks lynn! i miss the penny pincher! are you ever coming back?
Hmm, I don’t know! I’m going to try and get my other blog going again, but it’s hard when my toddler wants to pound on my keyboard everytime I open my laptop… Nice to be missed though! And we should hang out sometime. I thought of you recently when I went to a burlesque class.
we should totally hang out sometime! i miss your bloggy goodness, but being a mom is HARD WORK. i don’t know how all the mommybloggers juggle both i can barely keep my blog together, and all i have is a dog. did you take the red hot and ladylike class? melissa is the balls!
Feel better! And maybe skip the polar dip?
thanks! sadly, i had no way out of the polar dip, but i’m still alive. only time will tell if i made the problem better or worse.
Maybe a dip in freezing water will shock the sickness out of you…
I am still sick too wheras my wonderful husband who got sick the same day I did is perfectly fine. Damn him and his working immune system. When I wake up in the morning I literally sound like one of those people who smoked for 50 years and have to talk with an electronic thing held up to their throats.
Good luck at the polar dip!
i’ve had the crazy smoker’s voice for like 3 days. yesterday, i had to sing! it was TRAGIC. i actually feel really bad that my boyfriend is now trying to get sick. however, many days of waiting on him as penance await me.
Wow, I completely relate to this post. Also sick, took a RARE day off from work, shaking, coughing, drooling. Tried the mimosas (was bowling All Stars night and couldn’t do beer, or sober) Not attempting a polar dip, though. You’re crazy! Will be at Joycott today, then maybe back to the couch. Feel better!
this cold is BALLS. it’s been 4 days and i still feel like super-ass. mimosas helped, but i’m not sure that polar dipping did. how did joycott go? feel better yourself!
you can never be too sick to make meth, come on now. hope that polar dip snaps you of the sickness.
you’re my hero.
I’m sick, too. When I read your post and how you are doing a polar dip, I felt sicker. brrrrrrrr…. I give you lots of credit because that’s something I will never do. Good luck to you and make sure to have very warm blankets ready for you to cozy up in after your (totally insane) deep freeze dip. Me… I’ll be thinking of you from under a few layers of fleece!
bummer! i feel like everyone has either this sucky cold, or the vomit flu. truth be told, i think we got the better deal. well, except for the hacking up a lung portion that i seem to be launching into the last couple of days. definitely the fleece cocoon is the best course of action. sorry your family is being so unsupportive! you should turn off everyone’s phones until they learn to give you the full florence nightingale treatment that you deserve.
P.S. Love the picture you posted. Figures it’s a man whose sick and is getting all the attention. Why can’t I get that kind of attention when I’m sick? From anyone, even! I’m lucky if I can get one of my darling daughters to get me a glass of water. God forbid one of them has to actual get UP and walk twenty steps to the kitchen and then to wherever I am in the house. Took 1/2 hour for one of them to finally hear me calling…. I’ll call my daughter on her cell phone next time because she always has it with her. She’ll probably hang up on me.
Totally relate to this post. I also took a RARE day off work, shaking and drooling on the couch. Tried the Mimosas on bowling night because I couldn’t do beer or sober. Finally feeling somewhat human again, and breathing through both nostrils. Hope you feel better soon!
thanks! this cold is the worst. i think i slept for 48 hours, and now i’m onto the “hacking up a lung” portion. save your strength for friday happy hour!
ugh. i feel you. i JUST got over the plague and my allergies attacked today. i’ve swallowed so much snot today, i don’t think i need to eat dinner. hawt, right?
apparently it is possibly to gag and laugh simultaneously.
