Lesson learned

Well, my last post was about how I was feeling fine even though I had lost my voice. Well, the cold virus turned it's ugly head and attacked. I've been battling head congestion for the last 3 days, I don't know how many kleenex's I've gone through and I'm living in my comfy pants. My voice did come back yesterday.This morning the cough started, not just a gentle cough, the all out face turn red, eyes watering, I might puke kinda cough. So, being early morning, I thought I would nip this in the bud. I found some cough/cold syrup in our bathroom cupboard, not having any proper measuring device in the bathroom and seeing as the bottle was about 1/4 full, I decided I could guestimate the 2 teaspoons I needed by taking a dose straight from the bottle. This is where that slit second decision would come back to bite me. About 40 minutes later while lying in bed, I began to feel horrible, sweaty, cold, the room was spinning and no....not nausea...and yup...I threw up. With a cold facecloth on my face in bed, I informed the girls that they would probably need to make their own lunches for school today, I could barely get out of bed without extreme dizziness. So, I have spent the morning "sleeping it off" and half watching TV. I've learnt my lesson.
