I went to Savannah and came home with what turned into an ear infection and bronchitis! I have pictures to share and stories to tell but for now I'm sleeping, watching You've Got Mail (my sick day tradition), and spending quality time with Halls cough drops. It's Nephew A's FIFTH birthday (whaaaaaaaaaat?) and my plan is to sleep hard today so I can be human for some cake later. Definitely a shower first. ...
Slacker
SlackerHome sick today. Usually, I'd feel guilty, but the last sick day I took (according to my blog) was in August, and April before that. That's the good thing about having a blog. I can look these things up!As I slept last night, I felt chilly and sweaty simultaneously, which brings the word fever to mind. Since my doctor, WebMD, says to stay home when you have a fever...home I stayed.After I called out, I fell back asleep until 2:00ish. Max and Charlie stayed in bed with me. I guess Max ...

Another sleepless Sunday night. I'm comforted by the fact that I slept VERY MUCH these last 3 days. But you know how I worry on Sunday nights. And now that I was sick on Friday and have to take off on Thursday, I'm doubly nervous. Yesterday I did end up missing both Les Mis and Nicole's 4th birthday party because I was still feeling achy. Today I got out to Target for a little bit (took every fiber of my being NOT to buy the Snagglepuss T-shirt) and it felt good. It feels like Spring has ...
Sick
Ugh. I've been hammered with some sort of 24 hour thing. I called out of work today. I can work through almost anything, but when my stomach gets involved? Game over. I spent most of my day here on the nap chair. That's ok. When your body wants to rest -- you rest. But it wasn't the best day to be sick -- lotsa stuff going on at work. So I'm feeling a bit guilty.Tomorrow MomandI have tickets to see Les Mis at the Academy of Music. It's the last show in our 4-show series. (First three were ...

Happy Birthday Dad!I'm not feeling too well today. My stomach is all gurgly and I'm freezing, even though the heat is on. Two pair of socks and my feet are still like ice. I hope to high Heaven that I'm not getting the flu -- John's graduation is Friday and his party's on Saturday. I also have a candle party (groan) to go to at Tricia's tomorrow night. Plus I REALLY don't want to miss work. It's making me grumpy -- I've been short with the animals all night. I just booted Misty from the chair ...
