Tissue? I Don't Even Know You.

Well it's official. I am sick. At first I thought I was just extra tired because I haven't been sleeping well. But yesterday I didn't have an appetite and I could barely get off the couch. Today I have a runny nose, still no appetite and a headache. Crap. I was hoping to avoid illness the entire pregnancy. But realistic a goal it was not. Figures while my body is busy growing a human some sneaky little germ crawls in. I blame Christmas shopping. It is the only time I have been exposed to a lot of people. It doesn't matter how much you wash your hands in that situtation. The germs are everywhere.
Chicken soup is my friend. The afghan on the couch is my friend. The water filter pitcher is my friend. I wish I could make friends with the cookies I got at the Christmas Cookie swap Mon. night but they just don't seem friendly right now.
