When I was pregnant with Isobel I got a cold every month. In the first four months, I got five. Normally, unknockedup Zoeyjane medicates the hell out of a cold. We’re talking Tylenol cold day and nighttime formulas, Vaporub, minty showers, hot baths, cough drops, an asston of OJ, a bottle of vitamin c (mostly cuz it just tastes so damn good), etc. etc.
Pregnant with cold Zoeyjane? A snivelling, whining mess of a girl. Achey, and sleepy, and mucussey. Coughing, angry, envious. UGH. On maybe some decongestants or one regular strength tylenol.
Isobel’s ending her, um, *looks at fingers* 16th cold. And as of an hour and a half ago, I feel the stirrings in my throat.
Eff this noise, I’m going to bed. Maybe I can sleep it off?
PS. Today, I’m wearing my skinny jeans. My size 0s, even though I’ve already gained 10 pounds. How is this possible? A hair elastic woven through the button hole and around the button, a long shirt and an undone 1″ zipper.
Now, how about yourself?
Your Thinking is Abstract and Sequential |
![]() You like to do research and collect lots of information. The more facts you have, the easier it is for you to learn. You need to figure things out for yourself and consider all possibilities. You tend to become an expert in the subjects that you study. It’s difficult for you to work with people who know less than you do. You aren’t a very patient teacher, and you don’t like convincing people that you’re right. |
