calling out

spent wednesday running around in the cold rain doing site inspections for my class.

by late afternoon, i felt the first signs of illness creeping up on me. itchy throat and that "sick" feeling. by the time i was sitting in kura sushi with VK, i could tell that it would be bad. still, i had a fabulous dinner (rainbow roll and spicy scallop sushi- yum yum) and stopped by cha-an afterwards for a green comfort drink before heading back uptown.

next morning, my cold had definately settled in. body aches, alternating fevers and chills, and just feeling miserable overall. that on top of a 2.5 hour customer issue i had to deal with in the afternoon, i left work feeling whiped out. after spending way too long looking for a parking space, i stopped by duane reade to pick up cold medicine and some vitamin waters.

went to bed early, woke up for a few minutes to assess my health. not feeling much better, decided to call in sick and went back to bed. a delightful 3 hours later, i woke up feeling much better. sleep is always the best medicine. besides a runny nose, i'm feeling pretty good and will be ready for a long work day ahead.
