The Big Chill(s)

So much for welcoming the New Year! I have been sick with the crud for the last week. The worst part was the hot flashes followed by chills. I'm feeling better but still not 100 percent. It's weird that I got this sick, because I got a flu shot in November. Well, maybe this wasn't the flu. Who knows? There's so much stuff going around right now.

The bad news is...I haven't worked out at all for the last week. The good news...I didn't feel like eating, so I didn't, except when Hub would bring me soup or Diet 7-up. Bottom line is...the scale showed zero change.

This will be a short post, because I went to work today for the first time since last Tuesday and now I'm totally exhausted. There was so much work on my desk today, it made me want to turn around and go home.

Anyway, I waded through some of it, prioritized a few things, and made a few phone calls. At one point, I was on the phone with a contractor and was taken with a violent coughing spell. I had to squeak out, in between coughs, that I would call him back. He must have thought I was dying. By that time, it was 3 o'clock, so I went home just a bit early.

Well, time for bed. I think I'll feel better after a good night's sleep. Maybe I'll go in late.

See ya!

And don't forget to to wash, wash, wash your hands! You never know what bad bug is lurking out there.

  1. I'm so sorry you are feeling sickly. This seems to be a bad winter for "it" - whatever it is. Lots of people at my work having been battling the crud now for weeks. Multiple trips to the doc don't seem to help. Let's hope you are on the rapid road to recovery. You can't still be hacking around in March!

  3. Sounds horrible! I hope you're feeling a lot better by the time you read this. I hate getting coughing fits when I'm on the phone. I'm coughing from the cold I had in December.

    Feel better soon. Can't wait for March to see you and meet Roxie. :)

  5. Hi Grace. I hope you are feeling better and getting over the crud. I was sick over the holidays. Not fair to be off work and THEN get sick!

    Thank you for your sweet comment. You're right, he treats me with love and respect no matter what.
