A Special Kind of Sick

I've never been sick in quite this way before. Usually, sick for me means mounds of used tissues following me around the house. This time, it's relentless coughing and what feels like an ear infection. In fact, my hearing in my right ear has changed so much that everything is out of tune, which makes listening to music unbearable.

...

I drove home last night after studio (actually, after taking a nap after studio, because I was up late coughing and didn't want to be sleepy on the drive) and it was very nice to see all the animals and Noel. When I woke up this morning, I was under a pile of cats, which is ever so nice and normal.

I decided to stay in bed all day, in hopes that I would feel better. This plan is working out well so far, but I have notoriously low patience for being in bed when I feel like getting up and moving around. Of course, it's raining out, so there's not much to do if I do get up. I guess I could drive Rosie up to the park or something, but being out in the cold and wet (as opposed to inside in the cold but dry) does not seem all that appealing.

Technically, I have school tomorrow, but I'm far too unwell to think about driving back tonight and going. Or even to have gone if I'd stayed in SLO. I had to leave studio twice yesterday because of uncontrollable coughing jags. You really should not be in school when you are sick like that. So since I'm skipping school anyway, I'm going to enjoy my first long weekend at home in a long time. So nice. I can read any book I want instead of the handpicked few I bring with me to SLO! I can pet my kitties! I can roll my dog on the floor! Or I can lie in bed and cough.
