Warning: Blatant whine alert!
I have a cold or the flu or something that seems to have settled in my lungs. It hurts like a SOB when I cough, I feel lightheaded and dizzy. Everytime I try to go downstairs and do laundry, I get winded like I just came back from running, but without the high.
I hate being sick. I remember being small and being sick was something of an annoyance. Now as an adult, getting a cold is practically the end of the world. How would I manage if I contracted some horrible real illness like ebola or cancer?
I would have gone to the doctor yesterday, but with kids and life, I wanted to see if this was something that would pass. It was in the evening I realized that I really should have gone. But I can't go today, my husband has school he cannot miss. I cannot go tomorrow and, I have to work. I just looked at myself in the mirror and I look like crap. My Mediterranean (or whatever) complexion means every time there is anything amiss with me health wise, I get anything like not enough iron or H2O, lack of sleep, sick, dark circles appear under my eyes. But they are particularly pronounced when I am ill. The only thing worse than feeling bad is people asking me 800xs "you don't look so good, do you feel OK?"
I think it was easier to be sick when I was a child because I got to take time off. In adulthood if you are ill, that's just too bad.
So that's what those dark circles mean?
It means your sick, and you're incapable of looking gorgeous when you're sick! Blah!
And it's all Grandma's fault I look like that! More blah!
Other than that, it doesn't matter.
