Sick and tired of being sick and tired...

I've had this awful cold. Well, it's not that bad, but pregnacy sometimes exaggerates some symptoms - like the tiredness part.

Today, my husband watched the kids while I slept a few hours after lunch. I feel better tonight, except I can only breath on one side of my nose. That in combination that my lungs are a little crowded make for an occasion to feel like I can't breath.

I don't panic, I just force a yawn and that seems to help or sigh very deeply a couple of times.

Anyway, I've only been sick for a couple of days, but it seems like forever. I'm too impatient when it comes to being sick. I feel even slightly better and I'm at the old grind again. Of course, this would mean that I would be miserable later. I never seem to learn that I really need to rest and the world will not come to an end if the house is slightly messy.

Fortunately, today is Sunday so I don't do much work. I try to take a day off. Even if there is more work on Monday, I seem to be more productive during the week if I do. Sunday is the easiest day to take off since we are out for at least half of the day. I guess I could make it Saturday because I usually go to my parent's house for lunch, but it seems I do a lot of work that day anyway.

Now, I need to rest a little more - and browse the internet. Hopefully, I'll feel better tomorrow so that I can get back into my normal routine.
