Sick like dog

Yesterday I woke up a bit achy and with a runny nose and a burning feeling in the back of my throat. No worries I thought. I’ve still got the 10 tonnes of cold meds from my last bought. I took some Tylenol and Benedryl and worked on my history paper. Around 6 we headed out for Burn’s night festivities (yeah, we know it was a day late) and enjoyed a nice roast beef dinner, piping, dancing, and a great band. The night ended early – midnight or so – and we all toddled home.

This morning I woke up feeling like a truck had hit me. Everything aches. When I’m not suffering from a fever I’m shaking through chills. Added to that was the bazillion inches of snow that fell in Edmonton in the early morning and I was not a happy camper. At noon I bundled up and tried to dig out my stairs, walkway and sidewalk. This wonderful city I live in expects all home owners to clear the sidewalks with in 48 hours of the snow fall ending (or is it 72?) or be subject to a fine. I found my stairs and walkway but only made it through half of the sidewalk before I was so frozen that I had to head back inside. It’s still snowing now, so I don’t think I’ll be tackling the rest of the snow before the morning.

Of course, this same city that will fine me for not clearing my sidewalk will aso not plow my street or alley so I can get out of my driveway and drive to work.

I think I’ll be heading back to bed now!
