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)
