Feel yucky and can't sleep

So I am here to bug you all, but you are all probably asleep, lol.

I have a nasty, yucky cold. It has been threatening all last week but today decided to make good on the threat. I am feeling just major NASTY. Everything hurts, can't stop sneezing. I have even been desperate enough to go the medication route (sudafed, et al) and nothing works. I usually just do vitamins, homeopathics, etc.

Then, and I know you can all relate to this and it is the non-OT part of the post, I get all cozy in bed feeling really yucky and tired like a need a good rest and BAM! Brain goes into overload. Suddenly I am thinking about school this week, if Mike is going to be able to adapt to a new aide, my yucky meeting impending on Wednesday. Wednesday I have to deal with OT witch and AT knucklehead. I am SOOO not looking forward to it.

Now I am stuck, sitting here with airborne nighttime HOPING this helps and typing to you all.

Well at least I have a plan for OT witch. If she pulls her stuff again I am asking her to leave the remainder of the meeting and calling the director right after and requesting an independent OT. I think I will have good reason and proof by then to get that easily enough. Just don't want to deal with her. Like I posted separately, she obviously has something against me and it is coming out on the kids. To the point that she got nasty because Cait was getting services from another OT and she had to "talk" to the director about Mike.

Paula, by any chance did the lads find her for me and she will do a no-show on Wednesday? One can hope.

Thanks for letting me vent. Hopefully this tea and such kicks in soon.

Renee,


I hope you got some rest and are feeling a bit better.


I really hope something good comes out of the whole "Mike's aide" episode.

Renee, I couldn't sleep last night either. Been having a lot of that lately. I just layed in bed and watched TV. My poor dh. I should have gotten up and talked with you.

I hope you feel better soon and good luck with your meeting.

Right For the cold: hot whiskey with cloves; that'll clear your sinuses up no end , (plus give you a chance to actually sleep).

I should've ventured "down" to the computer last night too. I had trouble falling asleep, and when I did, it was fitful (sp?) all night. I was worrying about this Art Fair I'm chairing at school on Saturday. (WON'T be volunteering to do THAT again!)

I'd follow Dee's Rx...my dad used to mix hot whiskey with OJ, grapefruit juice, cloves and a little bit of sugar. Always made me feel much better! (No wonder I'm a whiskey drinker nowadays!)

Who can't get over how big Roan looks and how unbelievably beautiful she is, Dee!

Paula, If she doesn't show up on Wednesday I will know why, hehehehehehehehe.

Dee, I agree, Roan is just absolutely beautiful. I am dying to give her a squeeze.

And both of you, I am so trying that whiskey tonight. I have the ingredients.

I think everyone is stressing lately. It has been nuts all around. I saw no less than 3 accidents last week and heard of 2 more major ones nearby (one fatal that my inlaws drove by with my little ones in the car). Everyone here has been stressed. We should just look for each other if we are up late, lol
