she was such a long way down

On being sick and grumpy…
I want to sleep for a week and not have to worry about lost income or taking care of kids.
I want to punch my childless co-workers who call in sick at the drop of a hat.
Coughing fits in the middle of the night leave my heart pounding and my head screaming.
It feels more like october than july and that is just dumb.
I turned the heat on last night – that is more than dumb.
I want to go on a holiday for three weeks and watch my kids frolic in the cool blue Atlantic Ocean.
I would like, very much, to have a housecleaner who cleans behind the fridge and stove.
I will never put off bathroom breaks at work ever again. Ever!
Cat hair on my pillow drives me crazy.
I really need to go running, but my body won't let me.
I want a cold medicine that actually works.
I am a grump when i'm sick
