I am now in my third week of being sick and it always seems to get worse on Thursdays. Today I woke up feeling crappy and stuffed up and well, just generally sick. So I stayed home from work today (as I have done basically for three Thursdays in a row). I always feel so guilty when I stay home from work, even if it's for a legitimate reason. I always tell myself that I should be able to tough it out, but I never seem to really become convinced of that. I guess if there was something at work that I really couldn't miss (a special project or something) then I would tough it out, but I've got to be good to myself and not force things. So I spent today lying on the couch and watching TV that I really didn't care about. I must have watched 20 episodes of the Simpsons. But it felt good to laugh, so I think that helped. Unless I start feeling worse tomorrow, I'm going to try and go to work tomorrow. I've got some Mucinex now and that seems to be helping.
Not much else exciting to talk about right now. I'm going to a friend's house on Saturday to help her paint and don't really have any plans for this weekend other than that. I should probably clean the house, it's getting pretty yucky with both James and I feeling puny.
What I'm interested to know if anyone has read any good books? I'm kind of out of things to read right now. Well, I'm not exactly OUT of books, I've got a huge pile of books to read but none of them sound good right now. I'm listening to "The Abstinence Teacher" on audiobook right now but I'd love to get recommendations if anyone has any.
