I haz the plague

[norsegirl]

We broke the record high yesterday. It hit 91 degrees! In February!!! I just couldn't bring myself to stay indoors and clean, even though that's what needed doing. Instead I hit the yard and weeded. We haven't really dealt with the yard at all since we moved in, and it is really starting to show. The tiny little baby weeds that were there when we moved in have turned into a jungle. I took out one green garbage bag and 4 shopping bags full of weeds and you can't even tell I'd done anything. I'm considering just putting Round Up on the jungle and re-sodding. Meh, something to deal with after Lauren leaves.

This morning I wake up, and I expect to be sore from the crouching and crawling around weeding, but it appears I have also come down with the plague. I am all stuffed up and completely miserable and achy all over. This is going to make cleaning inside today suck massively.

I think I'll start with a warm bath. If I can loosen up the sinuses I might still get something done.

In my case it's probably mostly the pregnancy. It makes your allergies stronger, lowers your immune system so you're more likely to get colds and the flu (and more likely to die of it if it's a bad strain), and increases your blood volume. The increased blood volume means there's more blood going to the mucous membranes, resulting in runny noses and the occasional bloody nose. This is seen in some ridiculous percentage like 80% of women. It's interesting all the shitty stuff that comes with pregnancy that no one tells you until you're actually pregnant.
