Sickness Survival Kit

So here again I blog of sickness. It wasn't long after the first sick post that the second one showed up.

This one differs slightly. There's a different book and a new box of tissues. Still have some water but added honey to the mix just in case it's "allergies". I would eat two spoonfuls of honey a day. The thought of it makes me cringe now. I love honey but in such high concentrations nuh uh. Oh and the TV remote. I rarely watch TV so I must have been really sick if I was watching TV.

To be continued....

Still Sick

I'm still feeling like this:

The only perk to not being able to hear out of on ear is I can turn onto my good ear and don't have to hear the sounds that emerge from this:

Also, because I have conjunctivitis I've been using the YouCam app to put my makeup on because I can't wear eyeliner or mascara which are staples to my everyday life.

I'm back!

Happy belated Valentine's Day and happy get chocolate half off day!

True love right there. And naturally I got some chocolate but it took four stores and was around 11 a.m. when I got them. I should have gotten more but decided I did not need the amount of chocolate that I would have consumed had I gotten more.

The real purpose of this post is to tell you about my Valentine's Day and why I haven't posted in a while. Now for my sappy love story.

I have been sick for quite a while, coughing, stuffy nose, etc. I have had a lot of ear pain too. Yesterday it went to the next level. Not only was I in extreme pain but I also lost a majority of my hearing. I kind of freaked out. I was in excruciating plus my eyes were all gunky. I decided to wait until Pat got home from work and see what to do from there. 4 p.m. rolls around and Pat and I are on our way to the emergency room. Nothing like a romantic evening in the ER.

While we were waiting in the tiny little room, we were kind of bored and getting a little antsy. So to pass the time Pat started looking in the cabinet and found some tissues for him to use. He also decided to use the barcode app on his phone to barcode me, all the boxes, and the machinery. Finally, we had a humming contest. It started with him humming to himself and then escalated to me joining in or continuing where he left off. We at least made our own fun.

Finally, after waiting for about 2 hours the physician's assistant comes in takes one look at my eyes and ears and said, "Yep you have a raging ear infection and conjunctivitis." gave me a prescription and sent me on my way. We decided to do take out because it was 7:30 at night and we had to make it home for The Walking Dead. After checking all the pharmacies in the area they were all closed, so on stop one for chocolates I filled those and got it over with.

After stopping for food we came home to the futon with our scallops and ice cream and enjoyed The Walking Dead. And then he surprised me with these:

I am in love with him and the shoes! And we ended our night to this:

I did dress up but the outfit lasted an hour while I went to Target and was then replaced with feetie pajamas.

Now we're all caught up on my weekend let's talk about today. Pat had to work. I was stuck at home because it's school vacation week and I was going stir crazy. Perfect time to drive an hour to visit my family. Except I'm contagious.

My mom didn't respond until I was halfway there so I spent the day at my parents' and tried not to touch anything.

Why I didn't post

So if you remember I posted earlier this week about being sick. Well it escalated and I was quite sick. Hence why I didn't post yesterday. I also didn't post because I was exhausted from having 16 vials of blood drawn for my rheumatologist. (Fingers crossed we find something for once) I get very sarcastic when I am kind of nervous I'm at the doctor's. Especially when I'm getting my blood drawn or when any needle will be stuck into my body. But I got a cookie dough donut and frozen hot chocolate out of it. Oh and 6 pizzas. Yes 6 boxes of pizzas to last me the week.

 I also had my yearly physical. Which Pat so nicely drove me to. After about a half hour with the doctor she decides she's all done and is about to go print out the paper work when she turns and asks if she can meet Pat. Sure why not? Well Pat thought she was interesting and she loved Pat like most people who meet him do.

Being Sick

I am currently not feeling too great.

I am the wimpiest person there is when it comes to throwing up. I will pace back and forth and essentially cry the whole time. A little over a month ago Pat had his first encounter with the sick Mackenzie. I woke up paced back and forth a little and cried, "Pat I'm going to throw up but I don't want to."

Now we don't know why these bouts come on. They just do without reason. It usually happens as follows: I get extremely tired at around 7ish, I fall asleep for an hour, and wake up feeling like I was sucker punched.

The same exact happened tonight as it did Christmas Eve eve. This time I was a little less babyish. I also have yet to be sick. As I am pacing the kitchen and the living room Pat goes into the pantry and gets out a sleeve of Thin Mints. He proceeds to eat them as he watches me pace back and forth while he repeats, "Better out than in". He finishes the whole sleeve as I debate what medicine to take to prevent what will probably happen anyway. As I'm consulting my mother on this issue Pat goes into the refrigerator and takes out the orange juice and asks if I drink it. I reply with a shake of my head and he then drinks it straight from the container with his chocolate covered teeth most likely leaving back wash of cookies in there.

Since then he has been trying to make me feel better after he told me I looked like I was about to fall over. One way was to look at me and say, "Here comes...the smolder" and did his best Flynn Rider impression. I almost fell off the futon laughing and although it didn't do much for my stomach it did much for my spirits.

Hopefully, tonight I can get some rest.
