I knew it was coming!

I was feeling like I was getting sick before the long weekend. Then my parents came for a visit and I took some allergy medication and felt better. After returning to work this week I begin to experience the same symptoms again...burning in the nose, tingly watery eyes and nose, sneezing, sinus pressure, dry/sore nostrils and throat, headaches, major fatigue, and a loss of sleep.

Yesterday I went into work (I'm a nanny) and besides taking the little girl to school for the day we didn't do anything. Movie day it was again so that I could just get some rest. I was extremely tired from not sleeping well and very irritable. By the time I left work I knew this was going to result into something much more than allergies. I return home after work to find out that my husband has a sore throat. I decided to skip my turbo kick class as I just didn't have the energy or strength within me. Perhaps just a walk would be fine. Nope didn't do that either.

This morning I called in sick. I might add that the lady I caregive for is on medication for strep throat. FINGERS CROSSED that I didn't get that because trust me...I get it very easily. The husband called in to work sick as well. We hit the grocery store for some soups, juice, and kleenex. I'd love to be lying down but I'm just so stiff and achy. I know I need the sleep because I was up several times throughout the night and then finally up at 4am and not able to fall asleep again.

Is it just a head cold or is it something more?

And why is it that when I'm ready to get serious about a routine that I always feel like it's derailed with getting a cold. Maybe that is my body saying..."holy shit what are you doing to me I'm not used to this". LOL.
