illness

so i have been sick the last few days. monday night i was running a fever of 101.7 and was totally freaking out thinking i had the h1n1 virus or something. turns out, in my opinion because i haven't been to the doctor, that it's just a severe case of bronchitis. the last time i was this sick was when i was a junior in high school and got bronchitis for the first time! what's crazy is that i'm currently not teaching and i didn't get this sick when i WAS in the classroom!! LOL!!

what's worse... kevin was sick before me... and is still way worse than i am. he has to go to work everyday so he's not able to stay home and rest (in my opinion he could take a day or two off, but he's afraid to take any time off because he doesn't want to lose his job... )

the hardest part is that we both act so differently when we're sick. i called my mom on tuesday because i was being a big baby about running a fever and feeling so bad and i just needed my mommy!!! i'm very needy when i'm sick. i want someone to let me put my head in their lap and comfort me.

kevin on the other hand wants to be left alone. i try to take care of him the best i can, but the best thing to do is to do what i can to make him comfy, get him medicine and stuff, and then leave him alone.

he has been super though. he knows how needy i am, and even though he has been way sicker than i have, he has tried to love on me and take care of me the best he can, considering he wants to be left alone.

i'm just ready for the weekend so he can have some time off and get some rest. i hate that he is so sick! :-(

  1. So sorry you both have been sick. I too like to be left a lone and babied. I like to have people get me what I need then leave me a lone to sleep it off. I feel bad for Kevin not being able to get better and take time off, it is so hard when jobs are hard to get. Thinking of you!!
