Sick

So I'm sick and I have my period.  All those things I wanted to do today?  Yeah, they didn't happen because I spent almost all day in bed trying to sleep off this illness.  A part of me knew it was coming.  It was only a matter of time before all that post-nasal drip entered my chest, affected my voice, and made it difficult to breathe.  Too bad, my period chose today as the perfect time to let me know that I'm not pregnant this month and gave me some stomach pain in addition to the rest of me that was uncomfortable.  I was hoping to be showing some improvement by this evening but my voice is just as bad and if I try to speak much more than a few words at a time, I find myself gasping for air.  This proved to be extra annoying talking to Dave who almost never heard or understood what I was saying the first time I tried because he's not used to this strange voice.  I would then have to repeat and then find myself trying to not get frustrated with him and just catch my breath.

What can I do really?  I'll take my baths and see if the steam helps.  I'll continue taking my allergy medication , drink more Airborne, and just try to get as much rest as I can.  So not in the mood to deal with though right now.  I have stuff to do.  Laying in bed all day fighting this chest cold is really not what I should be doing.
