Out Sick

Just to keep on target of posting something once a week at a minimum, I wanted to let people know I've nothing to report as I've been out sick lately. Several things have been going around here lately, in particular the office has had a cold virus, sinus infections and even a 'staff' infection. I got one of them, not quite sure which one, although today it looks like it might be the virus as it's finally diminishing.



I've been thinking about it and it's funny as I had been expecting the first real winter (which we haven't really had) to make me feel back at home on the east coast. And yet, it is the full on head cold that does the trick. I haven't had one of these since my college days. I must be getting old as I don't remember them being this bad before. I was all congested (still am - had to take small bites at lunch as I ran out of air while eating - can't breath through the nose). It was pretty bad earlier in the week and even took some time off as well as not putting in a complete day yet.



This weekend I have absolutely nothing planned and it's a three day holiday. I have bunch of stuff around the house to do to keep me busy and productive, but the main goal is to lay low and recover quickly. Definately want to be well rested for the trip to India which is fast approaching. I just went and got my immunizations. Ended up getting more than I intended but figured it's better to be safe than sorry. Still undecided about the Maleria pills. The main issue being that I will have to learn how to swallow pills in the next two weeks. I'm putting a call into the insurance company tomorrow to see what they cover and that might be the clincher. I only want to take the expensive version as it doesn't have all those horrible side effects one is always hearing about. Well I'm off to the ICA with a friend before going home and dropping on the couch for the night.

BLEH. I hate the head cold. Naturally, since I work with kids, I get a couple of those every winter. Not much fun at all. I wish you a speedy recovery!
