...and it really doesn't seem fair.
It quickly morphed from, "Huh, my throat's a bit scratchy..." to "Why woan my nose stob runnin'?" to "Holy fuck, I know exactly what this pain in my teeth means!" Do you know what pain in one's upper teeth means? No? Well, aren't you lucky never to have experienced sinus pain so severe you've contemplated banging your head repeatedly against a brick wall in the hopes of cancelling the sinus pain out somehow...
Last night, after spending the greater part of the day either thrashing about on the bed in a sweat, or in the bath with as-hot-as-I-can-bear washcloths on my face, I finally remembered that last summer I discovered a cold medicine that not only alleviates my symptoms, but does not supplement my discomfort with paranoia and freakish auditory hallucinations. Oh. Duh. I dissolved two disks in 4 ounces of water, took myself to bed and woke up in the middle of the night with a remarkably clear head. Mr. Pear, on the other hand, was clearly having a bad night. He'd turned off the window fan, and was trying to tuck us in under not one, but two extra blankets.
This morning I was...89% better and the sinus pain is gone. Ahhh.
Mini-pear, as per usual, was completely unaffected by our plague and thus spent the day bored out of her little mind. Actually, she was a little less bored than she might have been, because the book fairy's been extremely active this summer. The summer book fairy is my best friend! Every time Mini-pear finishes one, another one just magically appears! And then roly-poly pregnant mommies get a couple of hours to...hmmm, what have I been doing? Drinking water and running to the toilet mostly.
Oh, I've also been knitting a little bit, but actually it's been hard to find a good position to sit and knit in for any extended period of time, so this project (and baby pear's quilt and various other projects I'd assumed I'd finish before he arrived) are a bit slow going. I suppose I could sit on my big exercise ball and knit, but something about that screams dork to me.
