I gargled with rocks and razor blades

That's pretty much what it feels like. I woke up on Tuesday with a horrible cough and as the day progressed, so did my sickness. By the end of the day I could barely walk- my entire body was aching. It felt like my back and chest were on fire and they, along with my face, were bright red as if I was horribly sunburned. NO FUN. I stayed at my parent's house for a few days thinking my Fatties would help me feel better with their insane cuteness. I think it worked but when they tried to sleep on me I had to push them off. They seemed to weigh 100 pounds and made breathing impossible. Poor babies! I hope I didn't hurt their little fat feelings. Needless to say, this has been a terribly unproductive week. I worked one day and had to cancel all of my weekend plans :( I am doing slightly better now, finally, it's already been 5 days- no more fever or aches but I have an annoying cough and sound like a man. I have to make the most unattractive grunting noises to keep from hacking up my mucous-filled lungs. Yuck!

I noticed myself craving bananas a lot this week. In fact, for 2 days that is all I ate. I did a little research and realized I am potassium deficient. Who knew?!?!?! I probably never would have realized it if I wasn't sick so see, there's always a chance to learn something new, even when you think you're on your death bed :)
