So, I made it until about 12:30 yesterday, and then I started feeling yucky again. I finished out the afternoon, got a ride home, and at the (very good) advice of a friend, preemptively arranged for a sick day. I don’t have any teaching obligations on Tuesdays, so I excused myself from today’s schedule, with the goal of getting better. At the very least, it should help that I’m going to avoid the cold/rainy twenty-minute walk to and from campus.
So, today’s plan?
Lounging on the couch in a cozy sweater, fleece pants, and handknit socks with Boh and a pile o’ mindless knitting. (Also on the agenda: Theraflu, a hot shower, herbal tea, copious amounts of napping. And reading — fingers crossed that I feel up to a little bit of work this afternoon.)
If it helps at all, I have a friend who swears that brown liquor cures the common cold…. I have never put it to the test, but come to think of it, I was not sick very often in undergrad school at all…. :-) Once again wishing you health! Enjoy your snuggle with Boh. :-)
Aw, I hope you feel better soon! But I bet Boh loves the company!
Hope you’re better soon! My kids threw up all night, so we’re home, too. Good day for resting and knitting.
Good for you for taking a sick day! I hope it works and you feel much, much better tomorrow.
Feel better, soon! I hope this ends up being the only “sick day” you need. :(
Puppies and wool make everything better. Feel better soon!
Sounds like you’re doing the right thing and taking care of yourself!
Lots of tea and reading on my agenda for the afternoon, too.
Feel better soon! I’m sure Boh enjoyed having his mom home to curl up with.
