Not Getting Better
This has been a super frustrating week. I started off Sunday by waking up and just feeling off. I had that "tickle" in the back of my throat and I knew that was not a good sign. And it wasn't. I ended up staying home that day instead of going up to my mom's house and visiting with my grandparents. Monday was about the same except with a fever. Now my lungs are so packed full of crap that it's hard to breathe, let alone anything else. So far nothing I've been prescribed or have taken over the counter has done anything to move it. Steam and tea aren't helping much either.
And I don't know what it is about me being sick that turns R so mean. Maybe mean is too strong, but he is a lot more grumpy than usual. I didn't go to the doctor as soon as I wanted to (I wanted to go Monday) because he thought I was overreacting and was just generally not encouraging about it at all. It's just discouraging. I'm already miserable enough being sick, and on top of that I'm bored out of my mind and lonely. I haven't been able to play with the critters because I literally only have enough energy to crawl to the couch in the morning and then back to bed at night. It doesn't help that I'm not able to eat anything solid, and very little of anything liquid.
Tribble as fleas. We rinsed her in boiled rosemary (don't worry it was not boiling hot when we rinsed her!) and then it took an hour and a half to dry and brush out the mats. We gave her some flea meds we got from the vet last night. Hoping those will start killing the little buggers soon.
We're supposed to go to the beach on Monday with R's parents. They have a house out on the Eastern Shore. R has been so grumpy and aloof I'm not sure if I even want to go. I feel like everything is a fight and all I do is apologize for breathing (but I already apologize for that anyways so it's not like that's anything new. I need to apologize less). I think it'd almost be more relaxing to just stay home and work. At least I'll be useful.
I'm just lonely, discouraged, tired, and feeling like death. I think all that combined is making everything seem worse than it really is. I just want to cuddle and take a nap, but I feel like I'm on trial, and I have to walk on eggshells. I'm too tired for that. I've tried asking what's wrong and if it's anything I've done, but all I get it, "It's been a rough week."
Maybe I should just leave it at that. It has been a rough week.

See, if you'd only named it Stimpy, none of this would have happened
Hope you feel better soon. P.s. Go to the beach. It'll help. Promise.
Well, in the immortal words of Marvin Gaye, "When I get that feelin', I want.." Oh wait, that probably wouldn't help.
Seriously though, I'm sorry you're feeling horrible and that it's been a rough week. Sometimes life gets the better of us. Focus on your recovery and let everything else go until you get better. 
I hope you and your bunny get better soon. When Jordan is super grumpy and I feel I have to walk on egg shells I tell him. He will normally try to be nicer. You should tell R that you feel it's best you don't go with him on your trip. Maybe he will realize how grumpy he has been and be nicer.
It sounds like you should be in the hospital rather than at home trying to mend. Like you need a breathing treatment or something to open up those lungs. Be careful it doesn't turn in to pneumonia. Hope you get better soon.
