I have had a cold for a few days now and I’m reeeeeeaaaally punchy. I can’t tell if I’m just sick of being sick or if this an actual symptom of the cold - congestion, post-nasal drip, body aches, runny nose, sneezing, sinus pain, fatigue, irritability, a mean spirit, hyper-critical inner voice, no social filter for my face or aggressively sassy mouth.
The first sick day happened to coincide with the only day this week I had available to do laundry. I was also supposed to have accomplished a mountain of reading and a few assignments, but laundry was the only thing I could sort of manage, which ended up being a really good thing since there was an unfortunate incident while my sheets were in the washer that involved some almond butter toast and my mattress cover and a lot of snot and tears.
