sick days.

So last weekend I had huge plans to get a lot of things done.  I had a ton of work to do, as well as a bunch of homework.  Call me a procrastinator, but I had to read a whole book (ok, it was only 125 pages) and write a book review on it (got to love that busy work), as well as all the regular weekly assignments.  Like I said, big, exciting plans. 

I woke up on Saturday morning, though, and I was wasn't feeling well.  I thought it might be allergies, because it was mostly a sore throat and runny/stuffy nose.  By Sunday morning, I knew I was sick, though.  I woke up mid-morning, had breakfast, then decided a nap was in order.  After sleeping a couple of hours, I thought maybe a shower would help me wake up.  By the time I finished my shower, I was so exhausted I wasn't sure I was going to make it back to my bed.  Slept another couple of hours.  By the time I woke up, it was 4:15. I was feeling a little better, but I knew I had to get something done.  By the end of the day, I did get the book read and my book review written.  That's all I really cared about at that point.

Anyway, I'm feeling pretty good now.  My biggest problem is this dang cough that I have.  It won't bother me for hours and then it comes out of nowhere.  Also, it usually appears when I want to fall asleep.  This is definitely one of those weeks that I am thankful I can work from home and don't have to be miserable at work all day.  Although, I do miss those good old sick days where I got to stay home, lay in bed, and do nothing except read books and watch movies.

I'm hoping that this weekend will be much more productive than the last.
