i live in a nest of blankets this week

okay so today marks day 3 of feeling gross and not leaving the apartment. well I guess it's day 2.5 because on tuesday I did get up early and drive to maple grove to clean one house (where I felt awful and had to sit down on a bed upstairs while I was supposed to be dusting) but then I went home and napped until it was time to go to family fun night at my aunt's house. I admit I was feeling a bit better at family fun night but I just can't get rid of this awful cough.
yesterday I didn't even bother to change out of my jammies - it was bad. I was in bed all day until I moved to the living room for a change of scenery and to watch a movie and then it was back to bed for this girl. this morning I woke up still feeling gross and not having slept well from coughing all night plus a headache convinced me that I better stay home and try to shake this awful, energy-sucking cold vs. bundling up on the coldest day of the winter season so far and trying to clean two houses.
it has been really hard cause we really need the money but I can hardly stand the thought of having to "get ready" much less get on my hands and knees and start scrubbing floors.
pretty sure if I wasn't pregnant my bosses would've let me go by now. I've missed a fair amount of work but I honestly don't know what to do when I feel awful like this. it's not like I'm at the mall shopping or out having lunch with friends. it's frustrating cause I feel like I need to justify myself for staying home sick and not pulling it together somehow and going to work - especially right now with Eric being laid off too. I think the anxiety is getting to me while I sit here stewing in my nest of blankets. I've been trying to keep it away but as I'm writing this I can sense it creeping in.
SIDE NOTE: if anyone reading this is a billionaire would you mind donating money to us so that we can pay off all our debts and I can stay home and not have to worry? thanks! that'd be great!
anyway, Eric has had several interviews which is encouraging but we have also decided that we are going to move to a 2 bedroom apartment in a different complex. it will be cheaper which is good but we have to move in april so I'll be 6 months pregnant and we were really, really hoping that the next time we moved it would be into a house but since Eric got laid off that's no longer an option. we've been at our current place for 2 years now and I really love it here so it's going to suck to have to move to another temporary living situation.
(exhausted face) isn't it crazy when you're sick you can do nothing and still feel exhausted? well I guess that's enough sharing for now. baby is doing well! we have our first appointment with the obstetrician on monday! send up some prayers if you think of us! xo Paula
