Being sick my first full week of work totally sucks. Hopefully there won't be a repeat of either for quite some time. Now I'm actually feeling pretty fine, but my nose is really stuffed and that kinda makes me feel worse than I did when I was feeling weak, feverish, and it hurt to have clothes on. It's so much more distracting. Sitting down and resting makes it worse. Also, I love that Ny/DayQuil work but I've decided that once I can sleep/function recognizably without them they aren't worth it; thay dry so much out it hurts!! Probably everyone already knows this.
Tomorrow's supposed to be a short day, though, so that's great. Get to rest up before heading outdoors for the weekend. Also, I'll finally get my official book for schedules, etc. and fill out paperwork, and learn important procedures. I'll finally feel like a part of the team, and I'll also know my schedule more than a day in advance, which I haven't since I started. This has sucked a bit, but my boss knows it so.. I guess I at least have the pleasure of my pain being acknowledged. Oh yeah, and I get to meet someone new, bringing the total to 6 I believe.
Now that I feel less worthless I'm reaching out to peeps I haven't spoken to since mid-December, owing to my reclusive ways. That's another thing that sucks about being sick right now; I felt pretty energetic after work today, which hasn't been the norm, but I didn't feel like going out either and I ended up crashing on the couch. For two hours. And waking up feeling stuffy and blah. I feel so icky and contaminated walking into these people's houses, often containing young children, meant to clean but bringing my germs along for the ride.
One thing helping me get going is the ceramic heater given to me by the ever wonderful Shantel. It has been miraculous. I didn't think it seemed very effective the first couple of nights, but maybe it needed practice? Or I found a good spot for it? It's great now. I'm not so afraid to emerge from my bed in the morning b/c it's no longer a drastic change in temp. Ooh, I just sneezed and it felt great! But my nose is quickly stuffing up again :P Story of today, really. Could have made that the whole of my entry. Erg, I'm doing too much typing and too little eating. Must bye now!
