I just want to rant about how being sick SUCKS.
So wednesday I wake up with a sore throat, lucky for me I had both wednesday and thursday off work.
But by friday it's fullblown into a cold.
Sore throat, stuffy nose, raspy voice, great.
I go to work anyway, since I figure its not that bad, people are keeping their distance of course haha.
Saturday i wake up and I can barely breathe, im so stuffed up, my throats on fire , im coughing nonstop.
I have to call in sick. So I do, and hope that I'd be better by today (sunday).
Last night around 7, i realize yea it's gonna take another day before I can go outside, so I phone my work (its retail so its still open) tell the boss that I'm not coming in sunday.
So now I've lost 2 days of pay because I'm bloody sick!
Saturday it was mainly a raw throat and coughing, today its full stuffy less raw throat, less coughing, although I did spend like 1/2 an hour this morning trying to clear my airways lol ew
I've been chugging buckleys (disgusting) taking cold pills, drinking a crap load of tea.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to kick a cold to the curb?
(I've already checked my throat out to make sure its not strep in case anyones wondering if it could be)
Thanks for listening to me whine, I'd whine to my mom but I don't live with her anymore and she's probably still sleeping haha
