Sick

Being sick sucks.

I have a minor case of the flu I think. I have some tummy issues, I am exhausted, my head is pounding, I have a slight fever, and I am achey. And, I am supposed to go to Springsteen tomorrow and then to NYC with my husband for a long weekend.

I had a meeting at work this AM, and went in yesterday for a few hours to prepare. I also went in for the 7 AM meeting today. But, now I am home, in my jammies, advil-ed up, and ready to rest all day. And night. I might even miss my home group meeting in the hopes of feeling better for tomorrow.

Part of my problem when I am sick is I usually don't stop completely. I do the things that I deem HAVE to be done (like this AM's meeting). My colleague reminded me yesterday I could cancel the meeting, but that wasn't acceptable to me. I did what I had to, and now I can relax for the day (except for a few phone calls and I might write a grant).

Tomorrow I have an appointment with a new dentist. Besides my general sicky-ness, I have a toothache. I had a filling replaced last week, and felt that I really wanted to change dentists (long story). So, I handled that.

I will go to work tomorrow, go to the dentist, go back to work for awhile, go home and pack up for myself and the kids (they are staying at my parents), and then my husband and I are going to Albany, checking into our hotel, and then going to see SPRINGSTEEN!
