Bells and Whistles

Well, I'm pretty much over that head cold. However, yesterday I ended up coming home two hours early because I was sick a few times the night before and during the work day. As a result I pretty much came home and lazed on the couch until I had to go to bed. Master made me go to bed on time, which is probably the smartest thing I could have done. I feel a lot better today. Master is pretty much over the head cold too. The only thing that is really hanging onto Him is the cough and the fact that His pretty much lost His voice. It's really odd having Master not being able to talk much above a whisper. He normally has a very deep voice so yeah, it's a little odd. Poor Master.

Since I left work two hours early yesterday I have to make sure I make those two hours up. I got a half hour in yesterday so I only need an hour and a half and I have three days to do that in so no problem there.

And this Saturday I am going to go get a new cell phone. My old one is a little over two years old, not that that's a big deal or anything. But it's started acting up for a couple of months now and it didn't help that this past Sunday I was driving down to my dad's and I had a styrofoam cup of coffee from the gas station. Well, while I'm driving down there some asshole decided to slam on the fucking brakes for no apparent reason while everyone is doing 60mph. I had to slam on my brakes as a result and apparently I squeezed the cup just enough for the lid to come off and send half the damn coffee right into my lap. As a result some of it got on my cell phone. Yeah. That did not help matters. It still works but when I'm talking it sounds like it's underwater.

Yes, a new cell phone is in order.

I already know which phones I'm going to choose between. I want to play with them a little first before I make my decision. Why do I have to wait until Saturday? Well, I'm on my mother's family plan and she's the main line so she has to be present for various reasons.

So first thing Saturday morning I'm driving down there and will come home with a brand new gadget!

Master is always yelling at me for not spending money on myself and I love my gadgets so I've decided I'm going to get a nicer phone this time. It's going to be my early birthday present to myself. After all I'll be 30 in less than two months and that's a milestone of sorts. Why not splurge?

He is making fun of me for wanting a gadget like phone. He thinks phones are only for talking. Not texting or surfing the internet or any of that jazz. Just a phone. No bells or whistles. So He picks on me about the fact that I like gadget phones with as many bells and whistles as possible!

It's my one and only splurge like thing I do for myself. I'm excited about it because I can come home and play around with it and all that stuff. It's so stupid that I get excited about a new cell phone but I am!

Visit With Dad

Master wasn't feeling well today. He seemed better yesterday but today for some reason He's taken a small nose dive and hasn't been able to sleep well at all.

So I went down to my dad's by myself. I'm not that great at taking pictures so I was a little worried about how the pictures of the items would turn out. But my dad ended up taking the pictures so that I could write everything down and he could just look at the pictures as he took them. It just seemed easier. He wasn't mad or anything along those lines. In fact he kind of seemed to have fun taking the pictures oddly enough. Although it's still a little weird to see my dad put glasses on whenever he has to read something.

Once that was done we chilled in his living room and talked about random stuff. His next door neighbor came over and shot the shit for a while as well. I didn't really want to leave when I did but it was getting dark out and I had a 45 minute drive home. On top of that I have to work tomorrow and had another errand to run before I could go home and relax.

I apologized to my father for not staying longer and he said that he understood. Part of the reason I didn't want to leave is because my uncle had literally just walked in the door as I was getting ready to leave and I haven't seen him in a long time and probably won't see him again for quite some time. Also, my brother was apparently going to be there in a half hour.

I just saw my brother for a short period of time yesterday but it's not often that I get to hang out with him and my dad at the same time.

But like I said I wanted a little bit of down time before I had to go to sleep tonight. I got home around 6:30pm.

Next time I'll make sure to go down there on a Saturday instead so I don't have to worry about leaving at a half way decent time.

Side note: I know this blog hasn't been about kink or sex in a while now but with my being sick, Master getting sick and neither of us being 100% over it yet there hasn't been anything going on but hanging out and sleeping. Hopefully soon Master will be a lot better. I just have this cough left although that is starting to subside more and more.

Errands With Mom

Today I got up earlier than I usually would on a weekend but I had also slept a lot yesterday. I think that is also part of the reason why I'm feeling quite a bit better today. The more my body rests when I'm sick the faster I get over illness. But I also had things to do today.

I went down to see my mom. I hadn't planned on heading down there until probably noon or so but I was up early and so I got there at 10am. This also gave me more time to spend time with her and to run some errands with her. Her car is down and won't be fixed for a little while so she is relying on my brother's car. It's not always easy to borrow his car either so I figured while I was down there I would run a few errands with her.

We went to a couple of stores and did some grocery shopping. She was grateful and I told her it was no problem. If I lived closer I would run more errands for her/with her but there is a 45 minute drive between us. I normally try to go down to see her about twice a month, sometimes three times a month and so when I'm down there I'll just run her around town a bit.

I left there around 1pm and Master and I have been relaxing since that point.

I called my dad and found out he has a new cell phone number. He had been using a prepaid cell phone which is the one I called. He is keeping that one active since he has minutes on it but now he is on an actual cell phone plan and got a better phone. He's not too good about telling people he has a new phone number. *laughs* So after I got off the phone with him I sent a text to my brother so he has it too.

We may or may not be going down to see my dad tomorrow. My dad wants to put up more items on eBay so he wants us to help him with that but he isn't sure if tomorrow will be good or not as some of his plans with other people may or may not have changed. So he'll call me in the early afternoon tomorrow to let me know one way or another.

Almost There

Work flew by today. It was only a four hour work day anyway, but honestly sometimes those seem to take forever to go by. After I got out of work I dropped off the guy in my carpool and then dropped off the rent check.

I was a little surprised when I got home and Master was awake. He's still fighting off this damn head cold and He hasn't been sleeping well so I figured that He'd still be asleep. But I was mistaken. we relaxed and talked for a little while but I did end up taking about a two and a half hour nap on the couch. I'm feeling better. I just have this cough going on but nothing is coming from it. I think it's just due to the fact that my throat is raw and scratchy from the past week of being sick and as a result it's causing a tickle in the back of my throat, which is in turn causing more coughing.

Going to work earlier in the week was really difficult to do. And I think that's part of the reason why I crashed this afternoon. I've been tired at work all week but then when I get home I have a hard time falling asleep since I've been spending the majority of the day trying to get my body jump started. I actually woke up only about a half hour before our usual dinner time.

We aren't doing any grocery shopping until tomorrow so we decided to just get drive through for tonight. I got all bundled up and made a few stops in addition to getting food. While I was out I bought Master some more cold medicine. Hopefully He'll be able to fully kick this thing soon.

Tomorrow I'm going down to visit my mom. Like I said all I really have left is this cough and I think that's more due to my throat being raw than anything. I had been planning on going down there this past Tuesday but put it off until tomorrow as I don't want to get anyone down there sick. It's bad enough that Master caught it from me.

Master will be staying home and resting.

Enough Already

I think I'm finally starting to get over this cold. Mainly it's just the coughing that is left over and it's not nearly as bad as it was. My whole upper back hurts from all of the coughing though. You don't really realize how violent coughing can be until after a few days of damn near doing nothing but coughing and then realize how bad your back hurts. Master says He is starting to feel a bit better as well. He's not to where I am but then again I've had it a few days longer than He has so it's really not all that surprising.

I'll just be glad when we're both completely over it. I want to fuck! I know Master does too.

When I first caught this cold I could barely breathe out of my nose and I would go into coughing fits. So not sexy. Like at all. And when I get sick my body decides it's time to go into sleep mode and so I crash a lot. Then Master got sick and He was pretty much where I was a few days prior.

And I'm sure most of you are the same way, when one or both of you are sick even if you want to fuck it doesn't seem all that appealing. No one wants to be in the middle of fucking and realize you're about to hack all over your partner. Well, unless you're into that kind of thing anyway. We are not, obviously.

So the past week has pretty much been sleeping, watching TV and just trying to get past this shit.

Cranky

I think I'm towards the end of this damn head cold or whatever the hell it is. It's just the cough that seems to be hanging on for dear life. Last night was rough though. I went to bed around 11:30pm and I couldn't get comfortable. It seemed like no matter what I did I just couldn't lay still comfortably. Either it caused me to cough or it made my neck hurt or my lower back hurt or whatever. The worst part of coughing attacks, for me, is that my entire body hurts afterward. And when you're coughing on and off for several days the ache is just always there.

I think I finally fell asleep around 12:30am. But sleep did not last long. Master is sick too and is in the beginning stages. So if one of us isn't coughing the other is. I don't think either of us slept well. Around 4:30am I got out of bed for the last time. I figured that maybe if I went to sleep on the couch I could prop my head up on the two couch pillows and that would help with my coughing.

I grabbed my alarm clock and my cell phone and headed off to the living room. I grabbed my throw blanket and curled up on the couch. Our pup hopped up onto the other end of the couch and helped keep me warm. I got about another hour and a half of sleep before my alarm went off.

Work seemed to take forever and a day. I think that was mostly due to how I was feeling though.

When I got home from work Master and I still hadn't decided what we were going to do for dinner. Nothing in the apartment sounded good and neither of us felt like dealing with a grocery store. So I went and grabbed us dinner. About a half hour after we were done eating I realized that I had stupidly forgotten to buy toilet paper and we were completely out. Son of a bitch.

So since I had to run to the store anyway I decided that instead of just buying toilet paper I might as well buy some cough drops and kleenex while I was at it.

Master just got done soaking in the tub, which trust me is not easy for Him given the fact that He's so tall.

Needless to say neither of us are in great moods but we haven't taken each other's heads off or anything along those lines. We're just sick and cranky.

Hello 2013

Last night was rather uneventful. I was still feeling unwell and Master was beginning to feel worse. So we just kind of killed time by watching TV. I think I finally went to bed around 2:30am after rubbing vaporub on my neck so I could sleep. Master was coughing more and more as the night went on and so He stayed up as He knew He wouldn't be able to fall asleep. Apparently whatever I have, which I believe is a head cold, I managed to pass on to Master.

I feel bad about it. My immune system is pretty strong so thankfully I do not get sick frequently. When I do get sick I get knocked on my tail and end up crashing a lot to recover from it. Master has a blood disorder that weakens His immune system so I'm always worried about getting Him sick. This time I managed to do so.

I actually apologized to Him for it today and He said it was one of the draw backs of sleeping next to a loved one. *laughs* We'll both be keeping on eye on His health to make sure it doesn't mutate into anything more serious than a cold.

I had gotten up at 8am this morning when the dog woke me up to take him outside. I stayed up for about two hours before deciding to go back to bed. After all, I have the day off of work so I might as well rest up and try to get over this cold as quickly as possible. I was asleep for maybe an hour when Master went into a bad coughing fit and accidentally knocked into me. He apologized, got up to get something to drink and came back to bed.

We both always feel better when the other is sleeping next to us so we crashed pretty hard after that. We didn't wake up again until 1pm. At that point we finally got out of bed and I ran to get us some coffee.

We have watched TV literally all day. He relaxed in His recliner and I was sprawled out on the couch. We've been taking cold meds and ordered pizza to be delivered for dinner. It has strictly been a day of rest.

Tomorrow it's back to work with me. But I'll only have to work for two a half days before the weekend begins for me. We're supposed to go visit some family this weekend so hopefully we'll be a lot better by then. I feel better than I have the past few days. It's mostly coughing and just feeling run down now for me. Master is coughing a lot and is tired. Hopefully we'll both be able to get some sleep tonight.
