Sleeping It Off

All In The Family...



SleepingI have a terrible cold. I began coming down with it on Monday, and on Tuesday, I became really sick. It's been several years since I've had a bad cold like this.

Today, I have given up. I've spent the entire day sleeping on the sofa, just waking enough to swig down some pills a few times. I could easily go back to sleep again, and I will probably do so before long.

I usually don't sleep more than I must, but in the last 24 hours, I think I've slept at least 18. Every time I close my eyes, a few more hours are gone. It is odd for me to sleep so much.

I guess all this sleep is helping because I was running a fever yesterday but I'm not running one this evening.

I don't feel well at all and I certainly don't enjoy the coughing and snuffling, but I can't deny that it's a luxury to set everything aside and sleep until I can sleep no more. I should try that sometime when I'm not sick!

  2. Thanks, Sarabeth. I am feeling a little better and I don't think it is going to become the bronchial event I feared it might.
