I’ve spent the majority of today thus far feeling like crap. After the 5:30 A.M. phone call with my boss where she made me feel OK about needing to stay home from work today, I got my boy packed up and sent off to school then tried to rest. I didn’t sleep much last night, can’t breath, my whole body hurts, and I have a craptastic cough. I couldn’t go back to sleep however so I got up, took some Midol because contrary to popular belief, it is not just for female issues, its a cure all I tell you. That made me feel just good enough to wander to my bedroom and log on to the laptop to try and accomplish something with this wasted day. I got a couple of things done that seem to be ever pushed to the back burner when I’m sitting at my desk and other things are flying at me non-stop so that made me feel good about myself. Then my boss told me to get off the computer and go nap so I did. Or I tried rather. I think I dozed for about a half hour at best. Which anyone that knows me knows full well that on any given day, at any given time, I can lay down for a good 2-3 hour nap so this little piddley one did nothing for me. I’ve tried to read my book but can’t seem to focus even though its a really good book and if I was well, that’s all I’d have done today is read. I considered laying in my room and catching up on all of the TV shows that I have DVRd but there’s a pile of clean clothes on my bed and I just can’t talk myself into folding them and putting them away.

I’ve eaten nothing but a couple of chocolate chip cookies that my mom made because nothing sounds good and I’m really not hungry even though I’m a little shaky. I’ve consumed massive amounts of orange juice and released most of it back to the oceans already.

You know those days where you wake up feeling sick but go to work anyway, then once you’re there you find it difficult to make it through the day?? You just wish you’d stayed home to recover but can’t bring yourself to go home because you know you can tough it out. Then there are those days that you wake up feeling like crap and you stay home. For me, those tend to be few and far between. I’m a relatively healthy girl. Today however was one of those days and I always feel like I should have just gone to work and toughed it out. Ugh, some days you just can’t win for trying. I can say however that about a half hour ago I finally peeled myself off the couch and bathed!! I know you are all impressed with me, feel free to send gifts. It was a feat of strength I tell you.

Well, the boy just got home from school and convinced me that I can in fact just throw the clothes on the floor and rewash them later, or lay right on top of them so I think that’s where I shall be for the remainder of this day.

P.S.  I’ve worn my birthday poncho most of the day because it has become the most comfortable thing in my closet.
