Better

I’m alive!

Talk about down for the count. Sheesh! I knew I was coming down with something, but when the alarm yelled at me on Wednesday morning, I didn’t realize how much energy it had taken. I kind of expected to stay home Wednesday. I knew that sleeping for a handful of extra hours would clear this right up and I would be bright eyed and bushy tailed come Wednesday night.

I was wrong.

I got up yesterday morning with intentions of going to work. That being said, sleep eluded me all night. I don’t know what was the deal. I was in this half sleep much of the night, stuck in a strange dream like state in which I know I kept trying to find spots on the pillow in which I would no longer be downloading data. I know this sounds odd, but it was one of the things keeping me up all night, which was frustrating to say the least.

I go to work, barely, and I found myself nauseous and in the bathroom much of the time I was here. Thankfully I didn’t throw up. I have had next to nothing in my stomach since Wednesday morning since nothing sounds good and I felt ill from the gut full of snot. Tasty right?

Thankfully yesterday afternoon I perked up. Ken forced me to eat some ramen and this gave me some much needed energy. He also stopped by the school on the way to his class and had the school tell the boys to walk home without me. I gotta say, it was super cute watching the boys walking home. I saw them from the door and it was cool to see them looking so grownup.

Last night I also managed to sleep well and this morning I am munching on cereal which is quite nummy. We went to Costco last night which also resulted in a jar of unsalted cashews which is sitting on my desk ready for snack time later today. Yay! I don’t want anything super heavy, so these little foods today are helping me.

Tonight I am supposed to go out with Sarah and Alyssa for our monthly dinner that we are trying to do. I am so glad I am not dying anymore. It sounds like Sarah needs us a lot tonight for some support and I am happy to be there for that.

I spent 2 days scrubbed free of makeup. It felt so naked, yet I can tell it made a difference on my face this morning. I might need to start doing weekends free of makeup.

My boss is out today, which is like a mini gift for me. I know I slam him a lot, and really, he isn’t a bad guy or a bad boss. I just don’t like making small talk with the guy and he is one of those friendly folks who doesn’t think outside the box much and I mostly hate that in people. Today it will be nice to get back into routine and not worry about him.
