First sick day of the season

[chanaleh]

I've been fighting off a cold for over a week... and it finally got the upper hand. :-P Last night, after working a full day (and I do mean full), I bagged on the company Holiday Outing due to being too wiped. Today I set the alarm for the usual time, then proceeded to snooze for two more hours before calling in sick.

So far I'm having the feeling of "a whole day at home! -- and -- blah, all I want to do is lie on the couch!" But that's exactly what I am supposed to be doing, so I will not bother myself about the to-do lists. At all.

I am likely to get a little bored by late afternoon, however, so feel free to call or SMS me. I might be on AIM sporadically if I feel up to sitting up.

For now, back to the tea and Terry Pratchett.

Edit, 2:15pm: Wow. Forget the couch; after I wrote the above, I went back to bed and stayed there for FOUR MORE HOURS. And I might do that again yet this afternoon. :-P

Ooh, ooh, which book? *bounce*

Feel better soon.

Hope you feel better soon. Sounds like you have a decent plan.

Hope you feel better soon.

You were missed last night.

Ooog. That was last year for us.

Pock! We get to bag out of all the family stuff and have a Christmas at home together!

Eit! We're both achey, feverish, and stranded on the Island of the Purple Couch with nothing but endless reruns of You Got Served on cable. So this is what hell looks like...

Sounds like tea and Pratchett is the way to go. Take care of yourself; hope you feel better soon.

Get well soon. Liquids and rest are your friends...

Right now, Mort. Tiger Boy is lending me all his Discworld books in order; I've never read them before this (despite seeing a great deal of Terry Pratchett at Noreascon 4, a year and a half ago).

Neil and I have it, too. Ick. I hope you are better soon, so we know
we will be, too!

Tea and rest sounds like a good plan. Get well soon.

Aren't sick days frustrating? That was my reaction to the day I had to take off for food poisoning. Something like: "I get to not go to work! Why am I not enjoying this? ....Oh, right. That."

Sleep well and feel better soon.

[muchabstracted.livejournal.com]

Oh, I liked that one. It was one of the few I've read.

Aw, girl. I'm sick with the same crud too.

Rest lots and I hope you feel better soon!

Hope you're all better by now!
