I feel like shit..............still...............hope to be tip top soon


Morning all, damn I am stuffed up in the head and my nose is still running like it is trying to escape my face. The last two nights saw me in bed before 7.30pm as I just couldn't be bothered to be awake any longer. Have to say I have had two nights of terrible sleep many times I would wake up unable to breathe through my nose and since I use a cpap machine I need to be able to breathe through my nose.

Of course I was unable to just stay home and do nothing yesterday, instead I went and helped mum with he monthly shopping but when I got home from doing that I did nothing for the rest of the day.

Today I still feel like shit but don't have much to do I am taking Leo to school soon and then I will have to go and pick up a dryer for Jessica, it is free from a guy on Freecycle he says it works and that is what she needs a working dryer so she doesn't have to bring her washing here for me to put in my dryer.

I hope I feel a bit better tomorrow when I have to go out and do my weekly shopping. Tim has said that I am always sick but I am not always sick and even when I am unwell it doesn't stop me from doing what I need to do. Even if I feel terrible tomorrow I will still get up and go shopping because it has to be done.

When you are feeling like shit due to a cold or the flu, do you take to your bed for a few days while you recover or do you just solider on because you have to and taking to your bed is just not an option.

I think if I was able to go to bed for a few days I would recover a little faster but because I just solider on and do what mum has to do every day, the cold/flu drags on for what feels like ages.

  2. When my children were growing up, I soldiered on. Now that I'm on my own, I can take more time to rest.

    Love,

  4. Moms always soldier on but shouldn't. You'd definitely get better sooner with rest and fluids. Sorry you're feeling under the weather. I hope you can get some rest after shopping!

    xo,

  6. Living alone, I can take it easy and only do what is absolutely necessary. But when you have kids to tend to--you soldier on no matter what. At least certainly I had to because I was the only one there to take care of my son. I think people usually just do what they have to do. If you have a lot to do--well then you have a lot to do feeling miserable--LOL! :)
