Getting better, bit by bit
So today I went to work for the first time in 2009. Why go in on a Friday you may ask? My new schedule started this week and I am to work Wed-Thur 12 hour days and then Fri-Sat 8 hour days. Since I was so sick this week, I took PTO days on Wednesday and Thursday, the equivalent of 3 days off. I decided to go in today come Hell or high water since I did not want to start my new year off by basically taking an entire week of my PTO allotment.
The cough is still with me, but more sporadic and not so much sounding like I will hack up a lung. It is more "dry" now and feels more irritating than like I will break a rib from the force. My voice is still a bit Polly Bergen-ish with about half my call-in customers today calling me Ma'am. What was even more fun was when the redneck/country men started calling in for product and called me "Honey" or "Darlin". Sometimes I think it would be fun if a video image of me popped up for them about that time.
I will work on Saturday and then start my new weekend, Sunday-Tuesday. I am looking forward to getting to church at Cathedral of Hope UCC in Dallas since I have not darkened a church door in over a year and I miss the worship and communion. I will finish the revamp on my bedroom on Monday and maybe see a movie in the next couple of days. With my chest and breathing as it is, I am not doing the gym right now, but still have lost about 10 pounds while I have been sick. I just hope it is fat loss and not muscle loss with the very little I was eating for several days there. I made up a bit for it today as I met friends out tonight for El Salvadoran/Mexican food and had a chile relleno and chicken enchelada with yucca frita on the side with sour cream!
