Grumpy Allison

Yes, I am grumpy.  Very grumpy.  Locked-in-my-house-no-one-should-set-foot-in-it grumpy.  Why?  Because I am sick.  Again.  This happened about two weeks ago and I recovered pretty quickly.  This time, not so much.  It hit me Sunday, got progressively worse, and is still going on today.  Today just happens to be the first day I could get to my computer for an extended period of time.  Even though I am an adult, the first thing I did when I got sick was call my mom.  Not only is she a nurse, but she is my mom, and I know for a fact that no matter the age I am, she will always be my mom and treat me like the little girl she still sees in her mind.  Mom cancelled her plans yesterday and spent the day taking care of me.  She drove me to the doctor because I was too weak to drive myself.  She took me to the pharmacy to get my prescription.  She made sure I was settled in before she made the forty-five minute trip home last night. I don't think I will ever be too old to need my mom. 

Today I am feeling slightly better.  Like I said, I can get up for longer periods of times.  I was so sick yesterday I could not even go to school and do my sub plans.  The ones I typed at home last night were awful. It took me forever to type them because I would get a few sentences done and then have to rest. I feel sorry for the sub that is in my room today.  Praying my kids will hold it together for the poor individual. 

I hate being sick, and I am really grumpy about it.  The other reason I am really grumpy is because I feel like whenever I make progress and make positive changes in my life, something happens to knock me down.  This time it is illness.  There is no way I could run or do any sort of training at this point.  I am hoping I will be able to run this weekend.  That would probably be the earliest.  I just get so frustrated!  I totally had a pity party yesterday (my mom was the privileged guest to this one) and whined and cried about how I am trying to do what is right for my body and my health, and I get sick. 

That is why I have not posted in a couple of days.  Too sick to be able to.  I did weigh in on Sunday, and I lost 4.6 pounds.  That is the silver lining at my grumpy party.  I am praying I make a quick recovery and can get back to changing myself into a healthier version of myself.  I am sorry that you just had a glimpse of Grumpy Allison!
