Blindness

The cold that should have been simple turned into the cold from hell. First the two females caught it then they passed it along to me. A simple cold, no big deal, right? Wrong!
I got the cold and it went to my eyes. I could hardly see or stand to be at the computer for any length of time. I had a very rough time doing my game site work because it is all basically reading chat. Ugh. It lasted for two days and got better. Unfortunately I passed the cold back to my wife.
Yesterday she could not open her eye at all. Today it is slightly better but she is still blind in that eye due to the cold and all the teariness. She cannot do her shift work and is lucky to be able to see her way around anywhere in the house.
Hopefully she will be better tomorrow. She has plans to go see a doctor in the morning...

Grrrrrumpy

My wife has just left the room and gone into the bedroom, closing the door behind her. This is never a good sign for me.
I had just finished telling her that she does not look like she is feeling good, does not sound like she is feeling good and she is not friendly. I also said I think both she and the daughter need to take some Nyquil and go back to bed.
Now she left and is hiding in the bedroom. Looks like I better get off this computer for a few minutes and go soothe some ruffled feathers.
OOPS

Guess Who

Woke up today with an earache,a sore throat and a headache? Darn it, I thought this mess was gone from my system but I see now that it was just taking a breather before attacking me again :(
Maybe I am mistaken, but it certainly appears to me that the more advanced our society gets, the more advanced the germs get too. When I was a kid, you got a cold or the flu and you spent a couple of days resting getting lots of fluids and maybe some Vick's Vaporub for your chest and all was well. And the best part? The bug didn't come back at you every few days like this one is doing.
*SIGH*
Lord knows, I miss those days...

Head Plug

No, it isn't a new product on the market, it's how my head feels, plugged :( I've had a nasty cold the past few days and for most of that time, the cold had settled in my eyes, making it near impossible to see let alone update my blog. But, I am feeling better today so here I am :)
It still hurts if the lights around me are too bright, but I will try my best to be online. I have three jobs waiting for my wit and wisdom. Cold or no cold, I hate to miss assignments!
