I stayed home from work today, as ordered, but to be honest, I still don’t feel much better. Maybe a tad better, but not well enough to be going back to work in the morning. I’ll go anyway. My doctor’s note says I can have off until Wednesday, and our issue is supposed to be going to press. The newsletter comes out Thursday, so I’ve got to be there.
But, still, I feel so frustrated. I’m so behind on so many things because I’ve been so tired. Counting the weekend I’ve been home for four days – four days straight – and I’ve gotten nothing done except for a load of laundry, and that was emergency laundry. (A girl’s got to have clean underwear! Even if all she’s wearing is a night gown and bathrobe.)
My throat still hurts and still feels swollen. My ears now both hurt. I feel achy and am still coughing. Who could ever imagine so much snot could possibly fit into one head? I’m not totally sure what my temp is doing as my thermometer doesn’t seem to be working. It says my temp. is 94 – which I’m sure isn’t right, especially since I feel so flush.
The really funny thing is I’m really craving cheese! Go figure. Something nice and warm with globs of melted cheese on it.
Normally when I’m sick I at least try to do some work from home, but I haven’t even tried the last two days. Blogging is easy. I can easily write without even looking at the screen. Writing for work is a bit different. It requires looking at things and much more concentration.
I called my boss this morning, who by this time is probably starting to panic about the issue. She was very kind and asked if I had enough groceries or if I needed someone to go by the store and get anything. How sweet was that? I was really impressed that she thought of it as most people don’t.
I’m off to find something to eat. Maybe since I’m hungry I’d feel better after eating something.
