I Can Barely Walk

Despite taking it easy almost all day, going easy at the gym, getting right back in bed when I got home, I'm really no better. I'm so irritated that I'm sick. I never get sick. I don't know what made this cold bug so special that it permeated my defenses, but I'm very irritated by it. And seeing as how it's been 3 days since symptoms started, it can kick rocks already.

I basically just laid in bed and watched a Law & Order marathon. I napped on and off, until the annoying post nasal drip gave way to a painful hacking cough. Like my body is trying to expel all the of the mucus I'm sure that drip created, but nothing is happening, so I'm just torturing my throat. Yeah, I'm unhappy. I got some Fisherman's Friend lozenges and they make my sinus clear as a bell, and they make the pain in my throat go away, but they aren't all that effective on the cough and my god, are they strong. The strongest menthol flavor I've ever experiences. Did I mention I'm irritated? Because I am. Thank goodness work is short tomorrow, because I'm not entirely confident my voice will make it.

I seriously went back and forth with myself over how important it was to make my steps today. At 6pm I'd taken whopping 249 steps. I didn't feel like walking in place at all, and I didn't really feel like going to the gym either, but I made a commitment to myself. So, I went. I'm still so incredibly sore. More so than even yesterday. I can barely walk right... Still not mad about it. I'm looking forward to doing it again as soon as I recover!
