Warning: Whining ahead... and some TMI.
I'm siiiiiiiiick. And I know I brought it on myself because a few weeks ago all my coworkers got sick and I had to cover from them, and I was really jealous and kinda hoped I would get sick so I could stay home too. So you know... I had it coming.
Yesterday I woke up with a sore throat, and when I got to work I started feeling really crappy. But I always feel crappy at work. I went and lay down at lunch time, but still felt crappy. Then I felt nauseous... so I knew I was really sick and went home. I made it as far as my mailbox before puking. Fun!
So now I'm home. Mostly sleeping. I made one outing to the store to pick up some Ginger Ale, chicken noodle cup-a-soup, and of course... seasons 1 & 2 of The Office. That *almost* makes up for all the hurting. My head hurts, my ears hurt, my throat hurts, my whole body hurts. I hurt too much to knit or quilt. Almost too much to eat (cup-a-soup goes down pretty easy). I did manage to do my taxes though... then I took a 2 hour nap. Then I woke up and relocated to the couch for the rest of the afternoon.
Now I know what it's like to be Sally.

Get well soon, hon! I've luckily escaped the plague so far (my office was all sick too) and I don't envy you.
And now I'm going to go knock on wood.
Feel better!
Get better soon!!
oh, no, it's the portland plague! best wishes for a swift recovery.
Ha ha! Now if you start licking your own butt, I'm going to have to ask Sally to alert the authorities.
But in all seriousness--I hope you feel better!!!
Feel better sweetie pie!
It is a bitch to have to fetch your own ginger ale when you are laid up. I've had to do it more times than I can say.
bummer your down for the count. Ginger ale is a good friend.But taxes?! Why on earth? your sick, quit trying to be a hero!
Thanks for commiserating everyone. I'm doing better today, not so achey/pukey, just tired & stuffy.
Olga - I did the taxes laying down... so it wasn't that bad. It was stressing me out more not to have them done. And I should be getting a decent check back from the Feds. So that makes me feel a little better.
