I really wish I could call in sick today. Starting Weds at the conference in Cincinnati, I started sneezing and my nose started running - sure it was allergies, I started taking my Zyrtec - when I finally got home at 10:30, my throat was SO sore, my head pounding, and I barely slept. Yesterday it blew up with my nose running so much it kept bleeding too, my throat hurting, and my head pounding. Last night I had a sip of bourbon before bed, which made my throat better, but it was a long night of coughing and now my nose is clear, but my head is pounding and my chest feels FULL...my voice sounds like I'm a lifetime smoker...and I keep going between sweating and freezing. I'm thinking this is more of a cold than allergies, which sucks, but is good too because it means when I am done, I am done.
Can't call in sick because two of my team are leaving today, and I need to spend the day going through the projects they've been working on, now that I'm going to have to do their jobs as well as mine and the other 2 open positions I have as well...although one of those fills on June 2nd. =)
The conference in Cincinnati was awesome - one of the most helpful and insightful ones I've ever been too. Coming home was a bit of a shock...Sunday was Mother's Day, so I was treated to a nice dinner, which made lots of dishes...I was told not to do them because it was Mother's Day. I got on a plane Monday morning, Kelsey moved home Tuesday for a few weeks, I came home Weds at 10:30 at night, and walked into chaos.
Dishes not done. FROM SUNDAY.
Kelsey came home, and I swear she just EXPLODED everywhere - boxes of stuff in her room, in the computer room, in the kitchen - SEVEN bottles of product in the shower - open any drawer or cabinet in the bathroom and things fall out - how can one person have SO MUCH STUFF??
It's stressing me out, and I keep saying that it's only for 2 weeks...but I have a feeling this weekend is going to be full of organizing - especially as we get ready to redo the kitchen either next week or the week after, which will require we empty everything from the cabinets...
Ugh.
house,
