to succumb or not succumb...to the cold that is..

After a while of dealing with people who are sick and sneezing on you, you end up getting their germs on you and inhaling them. I guess i inhaled a lot more than my fair share because i have the cold and i have been feeling nauseous all day. in fact, this morning, i threw up three times. I think it is the medicine. I even bought those little alka seltzer ones that dissolve in the water so that i wouldn't have to swallow pills. they were just the same. for the entire day, all i did was sleep. i woke up from the bed and went to the couch and slept there. finally, i decided to get up and walk until i sweated out the fever. now, there is no fever but there is the uncomfortable feeling of the cold on me. i hope it goes. Today i took the day off from work. after the second time i threw up, i was still thinking of going to work but then i changed my mind after the third time. i had a really bad headache too. i felt as if my head was a rock on my neck.
nan came into the room, looked at the floor where i threw up, threw me a roll of paper towels and left. talk about love! tomorrow i said i will work. Hopefully, i will not wake up feeling sick like i did today. I tried so hard not to get sick but i guess i was pushing it for too long. maybe it's better to just take it easy for a little bit and deal with the cold head on. When i walked i felt better. Tomorrow is a short day at work. i only have to go in for 6 hours. However, 6 hours can seem like a lifetime when you are away from home and sick. especially when the bosses are there. thank goodness they will not be there until i am ready to leave tomorrow.
my mom bought home a chocolate cake today. i felt so happy when i heard that she did but the thing is, it didn't taste as it should because the medicine taste was still there. hopefully i can get better soon...then i will enjoy the cake...our preference is really clear....as nan said, even if the cake was buried underground, she would dig it up, find it and eat it!
