Not so stellar

Called in sick. Tried to talk to the boss but she was on a conference call, so I left a message asking to talk about my situation given the lack of sick days.

I keep on having coughing fits where my throat is so congested that I really can't breathe.

Taking my inhalor solves that, but I'm only supposed to take it a max of 4 times per day.

So, I'm concerned. The last time my lungs/throat were about this congested, it was a bit worse: I was coughing so hard I would vomit. This time, I came close to that once, but so far, no actual vomiting. Yay! However, I am swallowing a lot of air down my digestive pipe, and so I'm burping up a lot of normal air.

I'm thinking of going to a walk-in clinic, or if it gets worse (no signs that it will), an emergency room. Certainly, I'll need to swallow my pride and ask for someone to come help me shop. While I could try to go to the grocery store to get Nyquil and food supplies, I'm not sure that it would be the best of choices. It seems to me that physical activity is likely to prompt more coughing fits.

Of course, if I'm going to a walk in clinic, I'll be engaging in that kind of activity anyway. So, *shrug*

*sigh* stupid body. Behave yourself!
