NWR: Is anyone else sick?

Well, starting on Sunday I was deathly ill with a sore throat and stuffy nose but then it got worse and turned into this sexy hacking cough with a runny nose.

Today I woke up feeling HORRIBLE, like I almost cried as I got out of bed. But of course, I can't really take the day off bc it is the day after a holiday and it looks bad. So I go in and on my THIRD phone call I completely lose my voice. So, after two hours I totally give up and decide to use my sick leave.

I feel SO HORRIBLE, I swore it wasn't allergies. I have been laying in bed and sleeping all day and drinking tea and eating soup.

I went to the doctor and he said it IS allergies. He said that this fall weather has given us the WORSE pollen count in over 40 years. So, obviously I was experiencing the worse allergies in my lifetime. He also said that if I didn't take medicine that I would NOT get better until the night time temperature drops below 30 degrees for three consecutive days. Since THAT doesn't look like it is going to happen. . .

Just wanted to tell you girls to take your allergy meds. I know I thought it was too late for my allergies so that is why I didn't even take something OTC.
