I don’t get sick very often. When I do… it’s bad. I felt bad last week but kept trying to convince myself I was not getting sick. It didn’t work this time.

Sunday night I started feeling rough. When I woke up Monday, I knew I was sick so I sent an email saying I wouldn’t be in to work and went back to sleep for 7 more hours.

I went to the Doctor last night. I have strep throat. He said I needed to stay home today as well. Normally I wouldn’t care staying home, but I don’t have internet right now. Right now I am mooching off a neighbor. There connection goes in and out so it is pretty much useless.

I have mostly slept since Sunday night. I think I slept for 17 hours Sunday night and 15 hours last night.

My hope is that I will get a lot of rest tonight and wake up feeling great in the morning. I gotta get back to work!

Pros of being sick:

• Take a break from work
• Lot’s of sleep
• Time with the family
• Just hang out with nothing to do

Cons of being sick:

• Take a break from work (this is a con because I like what I do and I will have to work extra hard the rest of the week)
• Lot’s of sleep (while most people like sleep, I do not – I would rather be doing something… anything!)
• I don’t have the internet – that has been a bummer!
• Cost – we are broke and i had to pay my copay for visit and medicine. (i’m blessed to have great insurance though)
