Today it felt great to call in sick for work. Due to the severe weather changes in Chicago recently I've come down with a cold so as a result I have a nasty runny nose, somewhat of a sore throat and acquired the I don't want to get out of bed attitude. So I called my boss today at around 7am, first call no answer until the second time I called she picked up and knew I hadn't been feeling well since Monday so she knew I wasn't faking my sickness and was fine with me not coming in even though we're already short staffed because my co-workers are sick as well. Technically if I wanted to I could have gone into work today but I would have been super irritable and lazy. I've made a doctor's appointment for tomorrow so that I could get a sick note because I'm basically paying for my sick day so I hope it won't cost me too much but I also have a bone to pick with my doctor for over prescribing me medications for my hand last month. It's times like these that I really miss the healthcare system in Canada! Well at least I got to stay home and I made a huge pot of home-made soup with purple carrots, celery, onions, chicken and noodle, nom nom nom.
Aside from being sick things at work have been pretty smooth this week. No major critical incidents and no extra paper work to do. I've been actively working on my LPC and NCE applications and applying for higher positions with different agencies too. I've only recently started applying for other positions the other day so I haven't heard anything back yet. But I'm eager to do more so hopefully these other agencies will contact me and I can widen my options.
Last weekend me and Lawrence started looking at condos and apartments to move into this summer. We didn't see anything we were crazy about so we decided to extend our lease for another year and save up to buy a house next year. I love the location of our condo now, it's a 15 minute walk to the beach, has tons of green space and is near by a dog park, my favorite casual restaurants, grocery store and the train but I really wanted a bigger space but I'll be fine with it for now. Until then we're buying new couch and making a few changes so that this space will work for us for another year.
Our car has been having issues again so we brought it back into the shop to be fixed. This is the fourth time since we bought it last summer that we've had to do that. At this point we're so annoyed with our Ford Edge that we're going to sell it ASAP. It's been such a huge inconvenience.
In other news I'm watching Samson again this weekend because his owners are attending a funeral. I enjoy watching Samson because he's such a mellow and well-behaved pup. He's been boarding with me a lot recently and I haven't seen Murray for a while which is a change lol. No new clients at this point in time, just my regulars.
My parents have also received their birthday gifts in the mail this week! I'm glad they finally received the package after I filed a complaint with the post office lol. Well they really liked what I got them and might visit me in May, hooray =D.
Now it's time for me to get back into bed! Hope everyone is doing well.
