sickness update

Responsible Girl (that's me) called this morning to get herself a doctor appointment, which was at 9:15. I would normally not have gone to the doctor with these symptoms, I would have waited until I was half dead and then went in, but the pregnant part of me thought it'd be a good idea to get checked out. I have a sinus infection. YAY! Okay, no yay, but it DID make me glad that I went ahead and made an appointment this morning. I don't know if I have ever been so sick in my entire life as on the memorable occasions that I had sinus infections in the past, and if I can avoid getting that bad off, I'm thankful. She gave me an antibiotic, which I pestered both her and the pharmacist about to make sure it was safe for pregnancy, and then I came home and asked Dr. Google just to make sure. (Part of what I was asking Dr. Google was whether or not it was related to the one that I'm dreadfully allergic to, because.. even though I did ask the doctor to make sure, there is no way I want to take a chance on a rash like that again.)

So, now I have a day at home in the middle of the week and that is nice, except I feel a little guilty about it (especially since who knows how I'll be feeling tomorrow?) It wouldn't bother me as much except that I have next Thursday off, too. Hopefully I can get some paperwork and some napping done, though, and perhaps even some trashy television. All in all, I'd rather be at work than sick, but at least I like it here at home and that helps make up for it a little.

The most disturbing symptom of my illness is that I have absolutely no appetite. After several months of extreme hunger, it is disconcerting to realize that it's after twelve and I have little desire for lunch. I always like lunch...
