Today I woke up with the left half of my nose completely stuffed. As I anticipated, the cough has now been joined by the runny nose/sneezing repertoire that I hate so much. I hate coughing, too, but the runny nose is what really gets to me. I just want to lie down and sleep and do nothing, but I can't do that because I have a presentation next week, which I will still be sick for because my colds last two weeks, except that the profile of this thing is exactly that of this weird bug I got at the beginning of this year which required antibiotics to go away.
However, this, enervating as it is, isn't my real cause of rage today. I'd been rolling around in bed, perfectly fine, then as soon as I sit up I feel this achy stiffness on my whole hip area. Then I stood up. And it hurt. A lot. I took a step forward. That hurt. A lot. My hips were so sore I could barely walk. Every step was this huge mass of ow and what the fuck and I have no fucking clue what brought this on. I didn't do any of the really important things I was supposed to do this morning because I couldn't move without wincing and scrunching up my face and only taking very small steps. I lied down in a haze until 2, at which point I had to get up because I had class at 4 and I hadn't eaten lunch and I do not miss classes unless I'm physically incapable of getting myself over there and it'd managed to ease off enough by that point that I could walk at a moderate speed without grimacing. I couldn’t stand straight, though. I probably looked like I had some sort of spine injury because I was partly bent over. I couldn't swing my hips either, so I was walking very straight and narrow, which feels very odd to me, because I sashay my hips a lot, but it hurt too much. I took the Tube instead of walking, which had me grimacing at the price (1.50 pounds one way, about $2.75, almost four times what I pay in Puerto Rico), though I just got my student Oyster card today, which gives me a 30% discount, so that helps. When I got back, I was swinging my hips automatically, so yay. I can barely stand upright now, but it still hurts. And my nose is getting more annoying. The Actifed isn't working like it should, dammit!
Why must there be so much to read? I wanna sleep!!! Or watch Hot Fuzz, which I saw yesterday, but bah.
ETA: Okay, I'm not as distressed as the mood icon suggests (I just noticed it), but still.
