So how’s everyone out there feeling today? Anyone else being physically assaulted by a nasty head cold? Just me? Aw, shucks.

I called in sick to work yesterday. Today I didn’t want to, but I probably should have. I told myself I would work until 1:00pm and then reassess. Then I was added to a 1:00pm meeting and I just said screw it and I’m working the full day. I have a lot of stuff to do, and I’ve gotten through a lot of it (surprisingly). Now that we’re nearing 4:00pm I am starting to run low on gas. I am sick and I am tired and I am just beat. I feel like a wrung out dishrag. Like the song says, I feel like sashimi left over from last week.

I opened a new box of tissues yesterday morning. It is probably going to be empty before I finish typing this paragraph. Okay, maybe not this paragraph but definitely this post. Suffice to say, I am blowing my nose a lot. A lot. My nose is sore inside and out. Crud.

Okay, so I am done with this post and the box of tissues still has one or two left. I didn’t finish it before I finished the post, but it’s not long for this world. It’s going to be empty soon enough. I think I have another unopened box left over from when I bought a bunch of them last week while Jen was going through this bug. If not… I’m sure we have a block of printer paper or something.

Ugh… crud.

Here’s hoping none of you are sick, gentle readers. Stay healthy while you can.
