Tired.
I was fine on Friday. I woke up with a nasty cold on Saturday morning. Body aches galore!
Most of Saturday was spent in bed feeling miserable and then off to work at the bar. It was the grand opening of our bakery next door (which we'll use for bar space in the evening) so I couldn't get the night off. Luckily it was decided that I would play barista for the night so I got to take it easy and tamp shots of espresso for most of the evening. Unlucky for me I had next-to-no training last night so I had to rely upon my half-remembered barista skills from 5-10 years ago (!!). Well, I managed to make it all the way to midnight before I could clean the machine and go home to crash.
Today I'm still feeling crappy and developing a cough but as long as I keep taking ibuprofen I can keep the body aches to a minimum. I also couldn't find anyone to cover for me at work tonight so I'm bracing myself for another exhausting evening. I'll make sure I'm cut first if it is slow so I can go home.
As for the rest of the day: hot tea, hot shower, movies, and lots of rest/sleep before work.
Wish me luck.
