Cinco de Mayo
Actually, it’s more like Sicko de Mayo ’round these parts.
I’ve been sick with a horrible cold since Sunday night. I don’t know if being pregnant compounds the cold symptoms by ten thousand, but holy crap do I feel rotten.
My hard work on Saturday left me sniffling, sneezing and hacking by dinnertime on Sunday. When I woke up Monday morning with head and body aches, I begged my husband to put me out of my misery. He quickly escaped to work.
I didn’t catch this bug from Dawson (surprisingly) — my husband was the culprit (so he should be catering to my every need, right?). He just got over his cold and WHAM! I got it. I always do. Whatever the men in this house come down with, I’m pretty much guaranteed to get it soon after. And frankly, I’m flippin’ sick of it. I mean, I just had a cold in February. I thought I was done for at least nine months. UGH.
I felt like crap for most of today, and then suddenly I regained the ability to breathe through BOTH nostrils. Alleluia! It’s a miracle. Now, if only the aches and pains would disappear, I’d be on the smooth road to recovery.
So, on this day, the Fifth of May, I thought I could convince Doug to make fajitas in honor of Mexican army’s unlikely victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. Okay, I was craving them. He didn’t give in to my persuasions. Instead, he lectured me about sodium and doctor’s orders and blah de la blah. It was worth a try, right? My husband a healthy dinner of grilled chicken, long grain rice and sweet corn. Didn’t cure my food craving but it was delish just the same.
And now, I’m abruptly ending this random post because I just realized how tired and crabby I am. Being sick is total suckage.

Being sick is total suckage, I agree.
