sick

[tielan]

So, I've been sick/run-down for the last four days. Took Thursday afternoon off, didn't go to work Friday, didn't go in today.

I hate being sick. I really really loathe it. And this isn't the kind of full-blown thing that has the decency to come and go; it's a viral thing which just stays and clings and clings and ugh.

Saw the doc today after it wasn't getting any better on the weekend. He said I should stay home for the next few days and rest. Which sounds really nice. I'm just...busy at work. And there are things to be done. And things that only I can do.

But if I don't get rid of this now, it will linger all through winter and...no. Just, no.

Making chicken soup, though. Smells nice.

I have to echo some of the other folks on LJ -- take the time to recuperate. I haven't done that myself the past week, and the result is a migraine that has lasted a lot longer than it should have. So...rest, relax. Read, write, sleep. You'll probably feel a lot more like tackling real life again if you do!

10-day migraine? I'm beginning to think I have it easy...

But I will take it easy; if only because I can afford to take the time now. Later, once the job kicks into high gear for the go-live...not so much.

Yeah, it's been a very long week. The more irritating thing is that there have been times where I've been feeling pretty close to normal. So I then, of course, over do, and end up back where I started. The meds I've taken tonight seem to have helped a lot, though, so we'll see how it goes from here.

Glad to hear you're taking the time...and that you have the ability to for now. In the middle of everything is a horrible time to be sick!

I'm going to present it to my boss that way: "Better for me to take extra time out now and get better, than for me to be struggling in the middle of the Cutovers before Go-Live!"

I don't think he'll argue with that.

:( Hope you feel better soon!

I hope so, too!

Except my cat woke me up at 6:30am this morning meowing. So I'm going to have to have a couple of naps today.
