Sick

I am sick.

Last night all of the sudden around 9 pm, I started to get a slight temp, sore throat, and sinus headache & pressure (head cold symptoms). I think the nurses and doctors lied to me when they said there were no side effects to that darn flu shot. I mean, how can that just come up all of the sudden. So far, I took a tylenol last night and one this morning but the slight temp returns and I don't want to take too much. It was not a good nights rest, but I did get a few hours that felt somewhat restful.

I had made plans to go with a friend to a tea her church was hosting (St. Joseph Church - I felt a kinship just being there :)) entitled "The Power of Prayer & Chocolate" and I ventured out thinking that this little cold will run its course and was just some side effect of the vaccince shot. Yet, at the end, I felt like I was breaking a fever and immediatley came home. I stopped at McDonalds and got me supper because I just knew I could not cook. How sad is that? I now am planning to head to bed after this and have a cold rag on my head. My husband is out of town, so at least I can wallow in self-pity. The sore throat is barely there anymore, thank goodness, but I am wary of taking too much tylenol. I am trying to space it out and am only taking one at a time. What is awful is that this feels like a summer cold because it is still warm outside and not feeling like fall today.

I have so many thoughtful and inspiring thoughts from my day, but can barely think clearly.

I found out that getting side effects like the ones I have from the shot are somewhat common, so it should clear up quickly, but it makes you wonder if you feel miserable how is it affecting your precious baby?

Hope you all are feeling great and enjoying your weekend!!!
