Sick Part 2

You know another thing I hate about being sick? When I'm congested, my sinuses plug up, and my hearing decreases by about 50%. Seriously, I'm not kidding.

You know how you can usually hear others when you yourself are talking? Well, I can only hear myself, I can barely hear them. And normal conversations, I know I'm already pretty hard of hearing, but when you can't hear, it's even worse.

One good thing about having a cold is being able to drink chrysanthemum tea and 999 (which is tasty Chinese medicine..I know, it seems like an oxymoron). Add a bit of honey, and you're set.

But being sick really drains your energy. I think yesterday I wanted to sleep the entire day. Usually, I get over that by 3rd period. I did sleep a bit in 1st period, which is an open hour, and read all 2nd period. But I was dead tired by the time Problem Solving came along. Today, not so bad. I was able to stay awake, for most of the day, but by the end, I felt like I needed an energy shot aka 90 minute nap. Those work wonders.

So yeah, I'm still sick, but I'm chugging through.
