Call Me Marshmallow Head
Nov 18th, 2009 by Shalee
Yesterday I awoke with the slight sensation of running tap in my nose. My throat had that tingling/sore feeling and my head had a slightly heavier weight to it. Throw in the 2 weeks of little sleep, and you’ve just mixed yourself a cocktail of trouble waiting to happen.
I’m not sick really, but I have that feeling of being on the verge if I can’t have a real opportunity for my body to heal at night. Right now, my head feels like a big marshmallow, light and fluffy and of absolutely no good substance. Blah. I’m fighting it all I can with tea, Mucinex swabs and Airborne in case it wants to morph into a full-blown (pun intended) cold. So don’t want to be sick with family coming in! I just know that if I can get a couple of decent nights of sleep, I’ll be good to go. Right now, I just want to lay my head on my desk and check out for a bit…
The joy of it all? The Boy has the same thing. Sigh. I can’t even sit and let them take care of me. I’ve got to tend to him too.
On the flip side, I am enjoying the fact that there will be a second showing on the house today! This is the couple that looked at it over 2 weeks ago. I gave them up for lost because we hadn’t heard from them in forever and a day. We’ll see what happens with them. I’m slightly hoping that should they choose our house that they’ll wait a few days until the other scheduled showing. I would love to have the luxury of picking the one that won’t cost me much! (Of course, I’ll take whatever I can get if it’s close to what we need to head out of town free and clear.)
That’s it for here. I’m good, but tired; happy but light-headed; able to work, but want to be at home. I’m really looking forward to seeing my folks, hopefully tomorrow! There’s something about the gathering of family on all sides that makes me feel quite content and satisfied with everything. I know that not everyone is so blessed with this kind of family situation, so that’s what makes it so much more special.
Blessings on you all and Happy Wednesday from the Marshmallow Head. I hope that’s a one day only name for me. I’d rather be back to Shalee tomorrow!
Dr Oz says (genuflect here) Hot Lemonade. Lots of it.
(PS – wish you could see Tenni right now… she found a stray Q-tip – her favorite toy!)
Thinking of you and praying for you and appreciate, admire, love & adore you.
I have the same thing and I’ve been thinking if only I could just have a really good sleep it will all be okay! I’ve been popping the zinc tablets. Even though they give me “metal mouth”, they do really seem to cut the symptoms short!
Have a wonderful visit with your mom!
