Where does all this snot come from??

I have been sick with a cold since Tuesday.  I have already been through one box of tissue!! Note, I have found that an empty box of tissue makes a great receptacle for the used tissue.  It keeps your "sick area" all nice and tidy.  My "sick area" this time is brilliant if I may say so myself. I had my "guest" bed blown up and I just carried it downstairs to the family room to become my "hospital" bed! BRILLIANT!!! Thank goodness Roommate is traveling on the East Coast this week, as I have had the house all to myself to contaminate. 

I have been the best patient EVER. Rest, rest, and rest. Which comes with some side effects, man is my back sore! I will say my brilliant "sick area" does have a down side.... the "hospital" bed does loose air, causing it to be more flaccid, depleting its support. I know what your are saying, just blow it back up! Well a few months ago when my suga mama (no really my mom) bought me the bed to go to Wutchumna (our big camping/party trip we go on every year) we decided that it didn't make much sense to have an A/C air pump when I would be in the mountains.  So we bought the car adapter air pump.  You imagined correctly, I had to blow it up in the drive way with my car! So given my current health I decided it would be best to just take some Tylenol and deal with the back pain, then deal with the complexity of getting out of my pjs, moving two cars, just to blow up my "hospital" bed.

I have been able to catch up on my Tivo. An upside! I am down to only a usage of 6%!!  And I have seen some movies that I thought I wanted to see.  Nine is really beautiful and complex, I don't recommend it while high on cold medicine. Its kinda hard to follow, perhaps I will see it again when I am off Pseudoephedrine and Tylenol. I also watched Leap Year, I thought it would be a little lighter, and a good romantic comedy! It was definitely light, and fluffy. A little lame, I think I would suggest to wait until its on TBS Dinner & a Movie.

Goodness I sound like Goldie Locks and the two movies! I am just fed up with this cold! And getting a little grouchy! Its soo beautiful out and I am stuck on this "hospital" bed with a snotty nose and a sore back! I am trying to remain positive though, this illness is really helping me kick off my summertime body! Hello sickness diet, now if I could only follow this up with a little tummy flu! Wishful thinking!
