Happy *Sniff-Hack-Cough* Birthday
This is the second year in three years that I have been sick the weekend before my birthday. I’m really frustrated and depressed about this. This year in particular with all the h1n1 crap going around, I have been taking exceptional care of myself. I’ve been getting lots of sleep, running, playing soccer, and practicing yoga, taking mega doses of vitamin c, and not letting things stress me out in general. I have taken care of myself at the expense of my productivity at work and at home and guess what? I got sick anyway.
It’s just a bad head cold and a horribly inflamed throat and yeah it will go away. But it feels like crap now, so much so that it’s hard to sleep, which is precisely what I need to feel better.
To make matters worse, this year is the first year that there has actually been enough snow near the time of my birthday to go skiing (there usually isn’t, much to my disappointment). Micah had a whole weekend planned for us to go hit the slopes in honor of my birthday, such a rare early winter treat! Now that I’m sick, that’s not possible. And damn is that frustrating and depressing. I had to ask him to stop exclaiming the weather news from the paper “wow, 12″ of new snow just last night!” cuz it was bummin’ me out.
So now we’ll watch the Ducks play Arizona tonight and I’ll be laid up, drugged up, and trying to get over this crap. Sounds like much more fun that skiing, doesn’t it.

happy birthday anyway though! Enjoy your drugs. heh.
Happy Birthday, Rachel! I hope this finds you on the mend.
If it makes you feel any better, my birthday is tomorrow and I’m feeling a little virus-ridden myself. Despite my master plan to stay healthy, this is the third time I’ve had a cold within a few weeks, when normally I don’t catch more than two colds a year!
This comment is a little after-the-fact, so I assume you were well enough to enjoy Llamasgiving!
