Trudging along

So I made it through the entire day at work yesterday.  I went to the employee med clinic and they said it sounded like I had an upper respiratory virus that has been very prevalent right now.  I could have had them write me a script for antibiotics just in case it wasn’t viral but I don’t want to take them unless I am sure I need them.  As a day goes on my symptoms settle down but they seem to get worse later at night and especially first thing in the morning.

Last night I had a bad night of sleep, the sleep portion of it ending right around 2:45 am.  Despite being desperately tired I was unable to fall back asleep basically until the 5:30 alarm went off.  At some point my body will want a 12 hour sleep session to catch up.

After work last night I picked up the dogs for their long weekend at the house.  They just seem so happy once they get there.   Cindy customized their food stands to go along with the new corner cabinet, adding a big first initial for each of them on the front.  It’s cute.

Tonight won’t be a great night to catch up on sleep since it is the running club Christmas party.  In recent years I have been one of the last ones to head out, drinking my ass off and just generally being silly.  I am not expecting this year to follow that game plan.  My illness and having a race to do this weekend are likely going to cut my celebration time short.

Did I mention I got my first WoW character to the new level cap of 100 while home sick?  Real life sickness translates into virtual accomplishments in my world.
