still sick, booooo

 I'm just writing out my dang emotions because my brain is sad. Not bad sad, just... sad. Last night was a doozy - my baby couldn't sleep for more than a few hours at a time, so I was constantly trying to help her feel comfortable and waiting until she was asleep. We both finally fell asleep at, hmm, maybe 6 and slept more or less until 11. I know I woke up off and on, and I think at one point she wasn't in bed, so she might have gotten up earlier, but I don't recall her getting on her tablet until closer to 11. And GOD, I'm still sick, and I'm so tired. So it's a beautiful day, yesterday was even more beautiful (well, less hot), and I'm stuck inside feeling like I have cotton in my sinus and a dull ache in my throat. AND today I realized how bad this swelling in my phone is, like the screen is coming apart from the base, and my thumbnail got caught in it. I probably will continue to use it, but it's backing up now and I'm going to avoid using it whenever possible, so the battery doesn't catch fire. I'm not sure I can take it on our camping trip, but we will have three phones and two wifi-only devices, so we should hopefully be okay. Naturally my replacement will come while we are away - I was thinking of various solutions and realized I did in fact have a protection plan, so I went to file a claim and they were like "for swollen battery, we will send you a refurbished phone as a replacement" so I was like ok then! I don't have to buy a new phone, or find a new battery, though it might have been nice if I could have taken it to the local shop to have them replace the battery. Batteries  have been harder and harder to replace, so I guess I'm not surprised. And I think they didn't have my exact model in stock so I'm getting a very slight upgrade to my very old phone haha. I'm not excited, exactly, but it would be really nice if I had a few more years left in the phone because it's refurbished. Even one year would be nice, I could look for deals and see if there's something I actually care about in a phone, and upgrade when I want to instead of when my phone might explode. (I think it's just catch fire, not explode, but either way I'm looking forward to not worrying about it.) 

Aaaah I think the tylenol might finally be doing it's thing... I couldn't remember if I took it this morning - well, actually it was around noon when I took my "morning" pills - so I waited until around 4. I feel slightly less miserable right now than I recall feeling earlier, though maybe it's just some water I had loosening some mucus in my sinus. Just the one sinus, and I hate it. Maybe I'll take a hot shower or bath tonight, see if that helps. Or steam therapy. That would be better.
