sick mama!

i hate being sick.
i hate being depressed.
put the two together, and it's a miserable time for everyone.

i have clinical depression. i've had it forever. my medication helps out A LOT! but there are still times that i hit a bump or two. started climbing back up the hill recently. only to get sick!

we rounded up the money to get me into see a doctor. he's the same one i saw last fall when i had laryngitis. so he was already familiar with some things. i went in cause i wanted to make sure it wasn't strep throat, or tonsilitis. didn't need the rest of my family getting sick as well. it was neither, thank goodness. he deemed it upper respiratory infection of some sort. (broad category! thanks.) the best part was yet to come though. i got worse before i got better!

i laid around the house for 4 days, and nothing got done. the first 3 days, i couldn't hardly swallow. so, i didn't eat or drink a whole lot. by the end of day 3, i was feeling a little better.
day 4 i could at least swallow and eat, but still felt pretty crummy.
yesterday, i was finally able to get up and take care of basics.

today, i am playing catch-up times 5!!!
