Sick Daze
I took two sick days off last Thursday and Friday ...I had such a bad cold with a fever that started Wednesday.
It took me until Sunday afternoon to begin to feel halfway good again. I have a lot to do for my upcoming trip and didn't get very much done in the past four days. When I feel like that I can't seem to accomplish much. I just don't have it in me. It's like I'm on a different plane of existence, sort of spacey and even a little bit incoherent. I tried all my usual cold remedies and nothing seemed to help... not even my trusty NyQuil or DayQuil or my sure-fire Cold-Eeze zinc lozenges!! Andy picked up some Airborne for me on Friday and it seemed to be the only thing that worked at all. I'm going to take some on my trip. I think it's a good thing!
I finally started feeling human again and managed to pick up my Kindle and read a bit Saturday afternoon and some yesterday while Andy was watching Nastycar.
One good think I DID manage to do was start this blog again. I've missed it and all of you.
Well, it's good to be back to work again! This school year is going so fast! Whew!
Now off to do some packing. I'm going to do a trial run and see if all the things I need to take will fit into one suitcase. HA! Good luck, eh?
Hi Gin,
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to see you back! And I love your new profile picture. I'm not as prolific as I used to be, but I'm still there. And the Ladeda? Just something I've always said. Something to say to keep things going? I'm not really sure. When I was thinking of a name for my blog, it just seemed like me :)
Oh I hope you're feeling well enough to work... get lots of rest!
ReplyDeleteHeehee... you said Nastycar!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you are blogging again too - I missed talking to you.
You know, I think that feeling is your body's way of saying "LAY DOWN! Get some rest!" I'm glad you're starting to perk back up. Where ya going on your trip?
It's so good to be back in communication with all of you!
ReplyDeleteCheryl, Ladeda is the perfect name for your blog! I love the word...it really does work!
Anne, good advice...it always seems that when I'm not sleeping well at night for some reason (like pre-trip excitement) is when I get sick! Rest is definitely one of the keys to a healthy life!
Fiwa, LOL, I always call it "Nastycar". Andy loves watching and I don't! haha So most Sundays I find other things to do. :) Two of my sisters and I are going to Negril Jamaica for a week.
PS...did you know you can download Kindle for iPhone and share your Kindle books on that account too? I don't have a Kindle but my co-worker does and put some of her books on her iTouch. I think I'm going to buy my next book club book from Amazon for my iPhone Kindle account.
