1-2-3 Strikes, I'm OUT

It's official...I'm down for the count. This week has been a struggle in all facets and my body has finally decided to tell me that it's had enough. Enter the common cold! I've been emotionally drained, mentally stressed, and now I'm physically exhausted. I've had a scratchy throat most of the week,Wednesday added a minor cough, Thursday saw my energy levels plummet, and today I couldn't talk. All of this accompanied by the severe lack of sleep. Today, my roommates decided they wanted me to get better NOW so they banished me to the couch to rest (despite my grumbles and protestations...and attempting to claw/sneak/weasel my way back). I always try to make sure other people have their needs taken care of and often I forget about myself so thanks K-girl and Rachett for making me look after myself...even though I whined. After lying there for awhile sulking, I actually fell asleep...something that I haven't been able to do much of at all this week. It was heavenly!!
