I’m going through one of those periods where I’m afraid someone will try to be really nice and drop by to visit me. If they did, they’d find a pile of clean, but unfolded clothes on the couch. Dirty dishes are piled in the sink, and clean ones are in the dish washer. There’s a stack of press releases from work I need to go through to decide if we can use any of them in one of the living room chairs. There’s a box of paperwork I’m in the process of sorting as part of my campaign to get rid of some of the boxes in my closets sitting by the TV. The carpet is sorely in need of being vacuumed, and the dust is so thick that even I can see it.
I think if anyone dropped by I’d just pretend I’m not home.
How do people do it? Why is it that everyone else can seem to juggle life, and I’m constantly overwhelmed by it?
Friday I stayed home from work part of the day. During the night Thursday I woke up feeling very sick to my stomach. As I climbed out of bed I vomited right there on my feet. There’s nothing worse than trying to clean up vomit, especially when you’re already feeling queasy. My temperature was 102, and I threw up twice more before morning. Needless to say, I didn’t sleep much.
So, I decided to stay home, at least in the morning, both to get some rest and assure I wouldn’t have a repeat performance on the bus. That would be really embarrassing!
I don’t think it was an HPS moment. A stomach bug has been making its way through our office. Two of my co-workers had it last week and I thought I’d managed to escape it. I guess not.
I wanted to go into work though, because Ryan and Matt had shipped my computer and I wanted it for the weekend. So, still a little feverish I took a cab into work and then took the bus home.
As excited as I was to get the computer, I didn’t feel up to playing with it Friday night. Today, however, I got to experiment a bit. It will take a little more getting used to than I had imagined. But, I was thrilled to be able to work on the HPS newsletter (a project that is now six weeks overdue) at the coffee shop. Ahhhh…portability…I’m going to like that!
