Most people who know me, know that I don't get sick. Well, let me rephrase that. I get a mild sore throat about once every couple of years. I made my 2-year mark in December so I was sure I was in the clear for another year. Wrong! My throat started bothering me in the middle of the night. Ugh. I had so many things to do today, one of which included spending a few hours sorting through my storage unit but since it's only 27 degrees outside, that won't be happening today.
I don't know how to be sick and I feel bad for people who catch colds year after year. The last time I was really sick with more than a sore throat was when I was 29. I'm 45 now, so yeah, a long time. I remember that sickness like it was yesterday. Even though I worked from home, there was no way I could work and I took 2 days off and stayed in bed, only getting up to tend to my daughters' needs. I hope it's just the sore throat and that I will be back to normal by morning. Actually the throat pain is pretty much gone but now my head feels a little cloudy....not cool at all!
Looks like I will be spending the day in bed and taking some medicine tonight just for extra measure. I need this gone before Sunday so I can go visit my college student and take her grocery shopping. I don't want to get her sick and I don't want to be sick trying to drive to, and through Atlanta. I need this mess gone!
At least I can sit in bed and watch Excel tutorials on my laptop but this marks the second day this week that I have spent my morning in bed. Again, not like me at all. Sigh.
I suppose it could be worse. I could be sick like my girlfriend with the cough, nose issues and everything else that goes along with being sick but I need to nip this in the bud today. Like I said, I have things to do Sunday and I need to be out of the house doing something productive Monday morning whether it be hitting up staffing agencies or some sort of job fair, I need to be out of the house. I already have a business casual outfit picked out: Simple slacks, a nice cardigan and a simple blouse.
Ya girl is ready to go back to work. I realize now that I could never be a homemaker for years but I also understand now why most homemakers volunteer or start nonprofit organizations, or even get into direct sales. It gives them something to do without needing to be at work 8 hours a day. It all makes sense now.
Well, time to get to relaxing, and a cup of tea. This tea right here is the business!
