calling out

when i woke up with crusty eyes sealed shut, i decided i should call out from work. i was feeling pretty sick but would have gone in anyways, had i not cared about getting anyone else sick (conjunctivitis is contagious).

dropped the boy off at jfk around 6:30 and was back at my place by 7am. made breakfast and rested until 9 am when i knew people would be in the office. left a message with my manager than called HR.

fell asleep around 9:30 and woke up at 2pm. ate lunch and talked to Q2 for a bit then went back to sleep from 3:30 to 6pm. folks, that's 7 hours of sleep!! woke up, made some soup and looked online for a bit . . . finally dragged myself out of the apartment to buy some groceries, vitamins, and medicine. got back home, feeling pretty rested, i cleaned the bathroom, cleaned myself up, and in back in bed. i've had millions of cups of hot tea (hmm french vanilla, masala, and white tea) and caught up on news and read some of my magazines.

tomorrow morning i'll make more chicken soup and some ginger-cinamon tea. hopefully, all this sleep, vitamins, and rest will kick whatever bug i've got to the curb, i'm anxious to get well and get back to work.
