The sounds of sickness

I was intending to try to go to work today but as soon as I got up the coughing, sneezing and nose blowing began in earnest.  At work it is generally frowned upon to go into work when you are highly symptomatic as spreading the illness around the office is never a good thing.

My sick day yesterday was not exciting and borderline depressing.  I felt like I should make better use of my time but I just felt sapped of any motivation to do so.  As a result I slept, futzed around on the computer, and watched some Iron Chef episodes.  I never feel good about sitting around. I tried to accomplish some online Xmas shopping yesterday and was only partially successful.  Even that seemed too much to think about.

I am hoping one more day of a vegetative state will allow me a firm foothold towards recovery.  I don’t like this feeling at all.
