Sick and Tired of Being Sick
Living alone can sometimes be lonely, but when I am sick it
is especially so. It all started as a really
dull headache and pain behind my eye.
Allergies? Sinuses? I was still feeling well enough to go do
things, but definitely not at my best.
After several days of this, a stuffy nose is added to the list, as well
as a pain in my ear. I am slowing down
now, conceding to the fact that I am not well and must rest. I spend time at home doing absolutely
nothing. After boredom sets in, I get
outside to pull a few weeds but immediately find that it is not a good
idea. I binge watch some series, watch
movies and documentaries. I do my
Diamond Art until I think my eyes will cross.
I pick up the Crossword Puzzle book and do page after page. These activities are occupying but not too
pleasant with a headache. I take Tylenol
and feel better. I shop online! I think I am over it, and the next day I will
go to the pool to relax and take in the beautiful sunshine. I have cabin fever at this point. After all, it has been several days now. To
my dismay, this activity puts me in worse shape, and I wake up with an earache
on my other ear and a sore throat. I “take
to the bed” (couch) and sleep the afternoon away. I am feeling a lot better. I shop online! It has been an entire week now. I am sick and tired of being sick. If I don’t die from this annoying sickness, I
might die of boredom! Summer sicknesses when
the heat index is over 100 are absolutely the worst. Everyone, take care of yourselves and try to
avoid this virus, if you can. You can
still shop online though!
PS-I almost feel guilty writing this scenario because there
are so many people I know who are right now battling illnesses so much worse
and definitely more serious. They are
the heroes.
