On Feeling Poorly...

 For the past week I've felt quite- not as chipper as usual.

I slept more over the weekend than I usually do, I've not made the effort to be as active or do projects on my Honey-Do list(me being the primary Honey).

For the first time in over a month I got to go spend my usual Wednesday night with my bezzie... and after eating, and watching one movie, I fell asleep on her sofa and didn't wake up until the alarm went off. I say I didn't wake up- but I did several times having a coughing fit. When the alarm went off, I felt like I had been beaten with a 2x4 and can barely move without wincing. My head is banging, my throat is raw and I can barely swallow.

Apparently, there are several crew members who have come down with whatever is afflicting me too. I came into work anyway, but texted my boss asking could I go home, or if that wasn't possible(as I said we are short-staffed) could I just stay in the office so I didn't "spread the joy" so to speak.

He chose the second option, but said we would work from there and see how it went as the morning wore on. 

That's fine. I'm just hoping I don't become one of the "Dream Team" as we affectionately call it when someone nods off.  I usually don't do that, but today might be the exception as awful as I feel. I would have just called in this morning, but I was hoping I would get feeling better once I got awake- but no such luck. If anything I'm feeling worse than ever.

I'm praying its just sinuses draining into my tummy that's making me feel so horrid and not a strain of COVID I picked up from my journeys the past week or so. I deal with Truckdrivers from the USA, Canada, and Mexico so you never know who or what they have come in contact with during their travels either. I'm also vigilant on sanitizing shared equipment and spaces, but lord knows I could have missed something... as small as a writing pen or a door knob or sink or fridge handle. 

So may small things we don't think about like we did during the epidemic a few years ago....

But I'm going on this note....
