This cold can suck it

I freaking hate colds, really I do.  Not that anyone really likes them, right?  But I’m especially hating colds right now.  I came home from work last Thursday and overnight just started feeling really crappy.  I called out on Friday, and I haven’t been back to work since.  I do have to go in again on Saturday because I basically won’t have any PTO left, not because I’m feeling better.

I left the house for the first time on Wednesday because I still had to get shoes for my company’s Christmas party.  It made me tired just getting dressed, but I was able to find shoes so I guess it was a win.  I am doing everything I can to kick this thing; homemade elderberry syrup, lemon/ginger/honey mix, fermented garlic, kombucha, and heavy doses of vitamin C but I still don’t feel much better than when this thing started last week.  The confounding thing is colds don’t usually hit me this hard.  The only thing that is different now is that I’m pregnant.  So I’m going to blame this all on the baby.  Thanks a lot, baby.

I think parents do a disservice to daughters by not teaching them how to spit properly.  TMI alert, but my step-dad is a crazy-good hocker of lugies and that talent would come in handy when one has a cold.  I think that’s why I still have this cold, because I cannot get rid of all this crap hanging out in my throat.  I’m hoping this is the only cold of the year because I literally cannot afford to get sick again.  If I had a regular desk job, I could have been coming in to work, probably, but I have a phone job and if I talk too long I get these crazy bouts of coughing.  Also, I cannot sleep at night, so a few times I’ve gotten up around 3:30am and just hung out on the couch and lightly dozed before coughing myself awake again.  Good times, I tell you.

Jesse’s been talking about getting rid of one of the dogs, probably Luca because Benny is good in the car and we want to be able to take the dogs with us when we go places.  We could probably train Luca out of his nervousness, but we are lazy trainers.  In any event, I can see logic to Jesse’s argument of having less dogs so I finally said OK that we could get rid of Luca.  Jesse contacted a friend to get the ball rolling on someone who may be interested in the pup, but after about an hour I decided I just couldn’t do it and Jesse had to contact his friend to tell him nevermind.  The way I see it, Luca can be a house dog and Benny can be a travel dog.  They are both generally good dogs, though they can definitely use more training.  We are still planning on getting rid of some of the hens, though.  Maybe I’ll put up that ad tonight.

In other news, the baby is doing well.  We had a gender check last week and results came back that we are having another boy!  I’m excited because I know boys, but I’m a little disappointed because it would have been fun to have one of each.  Now we get to start thinking about baby names!  Jesse probably won’t get in on the act for months, though.  I’m a little nervous because my Dr. said boys are usually larger than girls, so I’m hoping this doesn’t affect my chances of a VBAC.  Fingers crossed!
