So, I showed up this morning like normal and no one made mention of anything like continued schedule or whatnot. Figures. Was I really expecting anything else? I guess I just keep showing up until they tell me to stop. It also appears that I'm no longer answering one of the two phones for the company (though no one told me so, the three times it's rung, someone else has immediately gotten it). Fine with me, but again, it's like they don't even think about informing me; like it doesn't cross their mind.

The sneezing/wheezing/coughing/not-able-to-catch-my-breath thing is WAY worse this morning. I was feeling better by the time I went to bed last night (about 1am) in that I only felt very slightly winded and that was it. By this morning though, the nose won't stop, I'm sneezing constantly and the 50lbs of weight on my chest feeling is back with a vengence. Holy shit I feel awful. I honestly feel like I'm gasping for air. I can't even guess how high my heart rate is doing nothing but sitting in the chair here. I can feel it alternately racing/fluttering/thudding in my chest. Ugh.

It's
been
only
one
hour.

Double ugh. I'm going to be out of tissues before long and I've only been here one hour of my four. Holy cow that's not enough. WAY more time should have gone by now. I certainly feel like it's been hours - if not days - the way I keep sneezing and wheezing.

Since I'm just babbling I guess I'll stop. Mindlessly surf a bit and see if I can't pass some more time.

Update: 10:35am Took 15 minutes. Went to Walgreens. Bought some Clariton. Hoping for the best. It's crazy though how much it is over the counter. I used to be able to get it as a prescription for my co-pay of $10 for 30 pills. Just now it was $7.99 for FIVE. Yikes. I know from taking it as a prescription that it helped when I needed it so I hope it addresses the problems I'm having now. I really don't think it's a cold and it should help with the symptoms either way. *crosses fingers*
