Better

I have been sick. After recovering from my cold from a couple weeks ago I caught some crazy ass bug and got all sick and feverish this week. I even took a day off which is very unusual for me - planned vacation days are one thing but admitting defeat is another. I truly believed I would not get very sick so after spending all Tuesday evening slightly feverish and napping on and off on the couch I went to work Wednesday with some serious denial and spent the day hacking up bits of lung and spewing infectious air onto my co-workers. Apparently one of them has already gone down and was home today because of it. I gave up yesterday morning and called in sick with the promise that I would try to come in after lunch. As lunch approached I felt less and less like moving so I called again and said I wouldn't make it. After several more hours of napping my fever finally broke and I spent the evening in relative okayness. I tried to play Zoo Tycoon for a bit even but didn't last very long. I did however do a load of laundry and have a shower which felt very productive, and was of course hygienic. Today I am mainly just really stuffed up so sound really sick. I could hear people snickering at me on the phone though some people were very supportive and sympathetic. Statements like "you poor thing" really ease my pain. I also like being called "dear".
On the up side I did find a great place to take visitors or even just go for a walk by myself- the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve. It's awesome and I actually got some decent bird pics! Can you spot the goose in this one?
