Sick Day



I caved and called in sick for today. When you do a job that requires you to talk on the phone all day and you wake up without a voice - it's time to call in sick. I'm not very good at lying on the couch all day but I will try. I have my soup all ready to go... as well as tea... and if I get restless by noon I will head out to the mall (which is only a few minutes away) and do a bit of Christmas shopping maybe. Most people would start stressing that they haven't done their shopping yet (I've started, but nowhere near finished). Not me. I have a list of what I'm getting people and probably can get my shopping done within a day anyway.

My activity has been NIL and I'm trying not to feel guilty about it. I just haven't been up to doing anything. I shouldn't stress though... because as I said to alex - I'm not eating enough to worry about burning the calories.

let's look what what i ate yesterday:
BF - small banana (1)
Lunch - piece of crustini bread with shaved turkey breast and some chicken vegetable soup at a work meeting (? points i have no clue about but I guessed no more than 5?)
Dinner - Lipton cup a soup (1)
Dinner #2 - Lipton cup a soup (1)

That is all I had. I don't have much appetite. I only want the soup because the heat feels good on my throat and it's something different than all the tea I've been drinking.

I will likely update again later. I'm sure I'll get bored today...yet somehow I have no motivation to do much of anything. maybe i will try just resting. cleaning can wait until i feel better.

I hope you are feeling better soon :) It sounds like the col that I had back on our shopping trip. The losing your voice part of it REALLY sucks!
Thanks for the words of encouragement. I'm trying to talk myself into getting off my butt but myself is VERY stubborn :)
