creeping crud

Well, even though officially spring is here, I finally came down with the creeping crud that has spread through friends and family all winter. I was really only sick sick for a couple of days but the fatigue and cough that is hanging on is driving me nuts. I went to get my hair trimmed yesterday and felt pretty good when I walked out the door. Needless to say that it took about five minutes in the chair before I had that irresistible tickle that was not to be controlled. I saw myself in the mirror turning red, eyes running and coughs exploding out of me in little bursts. I felt like a fool and I do believe the others in the shop thought I was the reincarnation of Typhoid Mary. Luckily the stylist produced a high mentholated cough drop. It got me through my haircut and out the door. While I can deal with some of the chronic stuff with a sort of "that's the way it is ...figure it out" I hate this being SICK. I don't know where this virus, flu, super cold or whatever came from but it can go back and stay there. I feel like my whole life is on hold while trying to get my house cleaned and vacuumed, and work on my projects without coughing my head off. It ain't happening today. It didn't happen yesterday and lord only knows if it will happen tomorrow.
