Overdue

It has been a while and I have been feeling a bit more communicative lately so here I am. I am very sick though. I had a sore throat Thursday evening and by end of day Friday it was full on fever, headache, stuffed up, aches & pains. I ditched volunteering, a 4 Tops concert, and a birthday invite on Saturday. I did actually leave the house for Thanksgiving dinner on Sunday, but I was at least over the worst and just starting the coughing stage so I thought it would be good to get some air & food. I was totally exhausted by the time I got home, a whole 2 hours later, and had a nap. The coughing today though has been painful. It's very sporadic, but when it comes on I have to hang onto my bladder with all of my might. I actually gave myself a headache. I was encouraged to take work off tomorrow but I think I'll go. I'm functioning almost normally, I just need to suppress the insane coughing. My biggest worry though is the Dentist appointment - what if I can't control it and start hacking, spitting fluoride all over?

Other than that, I went to Whistler for the first time last week. We joined the last 2 days of the sales conference there. It was interesting. There are a lot of cute scruffy guys in toques, dogs, and people with accents. The drive is really beautiful. Our hotel was right in the village so we walked around on the breaks and went to a bar close by after dinner. I think this was the trigger of my sickness - not enough sleep, too much dancing, and not enough sleep. It was fun though, I'm just not sure if it was completely worth it. I haven't been sick in a LONG time, so I guess it was just overdue.

I broke my awesome new sunglasses. I sat on them. It's really disappointing because they looked great and were all sparkly. I mourn their loss.

Not much else is going on. A couple of more weeks & I'm back at the Kennel. I am looking forward to it but I desperately need new pants. Something waterproof and warm. Last time I got soaked to the bone so I need to try to stay dry. I am hoping it will be sunny, but it's a faint and illogical hope. I'm kind of pooped now so I'll give an update as soon as I can.
